INTRODUCTION. 



As an introduction to this volume, permit these few words con- 
cerning its origin. In July, 1896, feeling the iieed of renovating our 
church building, a meeting was called to consider the best means 
for raising the required funds. 

Tv^o means were decided upon, namely, the holding of a lawn 
festival and the circulation of a subscription paper among the mem- 
bers and friends of the church. These were immediately put into 
execution, with the happy result that we were able to completely 
renovate the interior of our main audience room by the third Sunday 
of the following March, at a cost of about fifteen hundred dollars, 
all of which was paid for, with a small balance besides, which was 
turned to missionary purposes. With gratitude to God for His favor 
upon our work, we felt the need of rededicating our renovated build- 
ing to His service, and prepared accordingly a series of services to 
begin with Sunday, March 21st, and to continue through the week 
until and including the following Sunday. On the morning of the 
first Sunday the renovated building was rededicated, the rededi- 
catory sermon being preached by the Rev. Arthur P. Newman, pas- 
tor of the Presbyterian Church of Bridgehampton, L. I. We turned 
to him for this important service not only because he is an able Pres- 
byter and beloved, but because he is a successor in the pastorate of 
the Bridgehampton Church of the Rev. Dr. Aaron Woolworth, who 
preached the first dedicatory sermon when the present building was 
completed in 181 7. Brother Newman's text was the same as Dr. 
Wooilworth's, namely, Ps. 123:6, "The Lord hath done great things 
for us, whereof we are glad." It was an inspiring discourse, and 
cheered us on in our renewed endeavor. For the evening service of 
that Sunday we prepared a historical paper, and it was that effort 
which has led us on to the present result of this volume. We found 
so much that was interesting and valuable in our research that w^e 
were able but to touch the beginning of things on this island in our 
first paper. We continued our research and presented another in- 
stallment on the 4th of April following. Again we resumed our 
study. With increasing delight we found our effort growing both in 
interest and in proportions. As we came to the time when Shelter 
Island was fully organized into a town by the election of town offi- 
cials, and so met the names of the twenty men who were the founders 



of our town, we felt, in view of so much that is creditable and delight- 
ful in the history of this place, and of their undying connection with 
it, that their names were worthy of a more permanent form than had 
yet been given to them. Thus one thing led on to another until now 
behold what we have endeavored to do — write a series of historical 
papers on Shelter Island and its Presbyterian Church, with genea- 
logical tables of most of the founders of the town and church. We 
say "behold" for the reason that it was something which we least 
intended to do when we started out in the preparation of an his- 
torical paper, to be read in connection Avith the rededication of our 
church. We feel that such an effort, had we known it at the begin- 
ning, would have made us hesitate to the degree of great reluctance, 
if not to entire refusal. It is only through the uniform kindness which 
we have received from one and another that we have been able to 
accomplish this. Among the many who have thus cheered us on and 
aided us greatly are the following to whom this public courtesy is 
due, namely, Rev. Epher Whitaker, D. D., and N. Hubbard Cleve- 
land, of Southold, L. I.; Richard C. Fosdick, of St. Paul, Minn.; 
Miss Katherine E. Havens, of Stamford, Conn.; Mrs. M. S. D. Law- 
rence, of Quiogue, L. I.; the Misses Horsfords, of Cambridge, Mass.; 
Mrs. Daniel Hudson, and Byron GrifBng, of Shelter Island; Mrs. 
Sophar Woodhull, of Laurel, L. I.; Mrs. Stuart Terry, of Pe- 
conic, L. I.; Miss Elizabeth M. Brown, of New London, Conn.; 
Mrs. Mabel L. Huntington, of Rome, N. Y. ; Mrs. Emma H. 
Thomson, of New York city; William Wallace Tooker, of Sag 
Harbor. L. I.; Rufus King, of Yonkers, N. Y., and George R. 
Howell, archivist of the State Library, Albany, N. Y. 

To them as w'ell as to all who have in any way encouraged and 
assisted the author he extends most hearty and lasting thanks. 

And now the volume is to go forth into the hands of the public. 
What is sought by its issue is simply this: to help fix in memory and 
in history the things it records as having occurred upon this beauti- 
ful island. -r- • i c n

SHELTER ISLAND 
AND ITS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 



CHAPTER I. 



' ^Rejnember the former things of old. ' ' 

— Prophet Isaiah. 

IT HESE words enjoin upon us a precious duty, the duty of retro- 
spection, of calling up the past. It therefore has to do with 
history. In complying then with this charge, "Remember the for- 
mer things of old," we shall endeavor to set before you that part of 
the past which bears upon the history of this fair isle of the sea, and of 
this honored Church of God. In other words, I am moved to give 
you an historical paper; the subject of which is, "Shelter Island 
and its Presbyterian Church." I am moved to do this, because the 
occasion of this morning, namely, the rededication of this renovated 
building to the service and glory of God, gives a fitting opportunity 
to do what our text exhorts us to do, that is, take a glance backward 
and "remember the former things of old." For such an event em- 
phasizes the past; is in itself a reminder of former days. A rededica- 
tion suggests a first or former dedication. It thus turns the mind 
backward, and the mind once thus turned, seems to take delight in 
travelling over the whole line of sequence and antecedents. Be- 
sides this, as I remarked in my opening sentence, the duty enjoined 
in our text is a most precious duty, precious not only in the sense of 
being valuable, a truth in itself sufficient to incite one's powers to 
such a duty, but precious in the sense of exciting within us peculiar 
afifections and encouragements; in showing us how vitally the pres- 
ent is connected with the past; the present being but the outgrowth 
of the past, as the man is but the outgrowth or development of the 
boy. By this study we shall see, that the opportunities of to-day 
are the flowers of the buds of yesterday. That without a past there 
could never have been a present, much less a future, all of which is 
precious, doubly precious, since as Dr. McKenzie says in his intro- 
duction to Dr. Byington's recent work on "The Puritan," "no study 
is more essential than that which makes us wise in our past that we 



lO Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

may be prudent in our future." By the help of our God, I want to 
aid you in catching this thread of development; this sequence and 
consequence in the history of this beautiful island with which the life 
of our church is so closely interwoven. I can say, that to me it has 
been both a pleasant and a profitable study. It has excited within 
me those peculiar affections and encouragements already referred 
to. I have been thrilled by the many things of interest, the hallowed 
memories, sacred associations, attractive personalities, etc., con- 
nected with this garden spot of earth. And as I was thus affected, I 
understood, at least in part, why a beautiful daughter of this island 
and church, should have been moved to write the sweet poem, "My 
Native Isle," that Mrs. Mary Gardiner Horsford did. The subject is 
worthy of every line of it. I too have wished that the feelings which 
have come to me, while pursuing my present purpose, might have 
been voiced and versed through a poet's skill. This much will do 
for an introduction. 

Let me now proceed to give you what I have been able to gather 
together from one source and another. The earliest reference bear- 
ing upon this island that has come under my notice bears the date 
of 1637. That, my hearers, is just two hundred and sixty years ago. 
It is a memorable year in the history of our country. Memorable 
for the conquest that the New England settlers achieved under the 
leadership of Capt. John Mason and Capt. John Underbill over the 
fierce tribe of Indians known as the "Pequoits," who had so long 
harassed and terrorized them. But in that year, goaded on to ex- 
treme measures by the murders that the Pequoits had committed, 
those early settlers rose up in their might and exterminated that tribe 
of savages by the aid of fire, sword and gun. It is in connection 
with that very work of conquest on the hills of Mystic, Conn., that 
this first reference touching our island is made. Before mentioning 
it, however, it will help us in our understanding of it, to know that 
the Pequoits were the most powerful tribe of Indians east of the 
Hudson River. Their chief sachem, according to Goodkin's His- 
tory, "held dominion over divers petty Sagamores, who were chiefs 
of the tribes on Long Island, over the Mohegans, and over the 
Sagamores of Quinipiac, yea, over all the people that dwelt on the 
Connecticut River, and over some of the most southerly inhabitants 
of the Nipmuck country about Quinebaug." Hence the tribes on 
Long Island, including Shelter Island, were subject to the Pequoits; 
and acknowledged it, by paying them tribute. Indeed, the earliest 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 1 1 

name of the eastern end of Long Island was "Paumanack," mean- 
ing land of tribute. Immediately upon the conquest of the Pe- 
quoits in 1637, the Indians that dwelt upon Shelter Island, together 
with those of Long Island, sent representatives to the Englishmen 
of New England, desiring to be considered their friends and sub- 
jects by the payment of a tribute to them. Winthrop, who was 
Governor of the Massachusetts colony at the time, says in his jour- 
nal, that upon the reduction of the Pequoits by the English in 1637, 
"Sachems from Long Island came voluntarily and brought a tribute 
to us of twenty fathom of wampum each of them." This is also 
established by the following statement, made by Lion Gardiner, 
who afterwards became the owner of Gardiner's Island, but who at 
this time was commander of the fort at Saybrook, Conn. He says: 
"Three days after the fight with the Pequoits, came Waiandance to 
me, to see if we were angry with all Indians. I answered, No; but 
only with such as killed Englishmen. Then he inquired if he (Gar- 
diner) would trade with them, that is the Indians, adding, T will 
go to my brother, for he is the great Sachem of Long Island, and 
if we may have peace, and trade with you, we will give you tribute 
as we did to the Pequoits.' Now, the brother of Waiandance, of 
whom he speaks as the 'great Sachem of Long Island,' was 'Yovo- 
wan,' the Sachem of the tribe of Indians who lived on this Island; 
and who were known as the Manhasset tribe of Indians. Yovowan's 
name appears upon the deed of Gardiner's Island, dated 1639. He 
was also called 'Yenicoe,' 'Yennicok,' or 'Yennicott,' and 'Youco,' 
or 'Yocow.' " 

This then, is our starting point, and, as a starting point, it will 
serve our purpose very well, since it tells us a number of things. 
First of all it tells us who dwelt here, prior to the advent of the 
white man; not only to the shores of Shelter Island, but, you might 
say, to the whole of Long Island; for not a settlement had yet been 
made on the whole of Long Island save at its most westerly ex- 
tremity, that of Brooklyn — that information being the familiar one of 
the red man. It tells us, too, what was the relation of the tribe of 
Shelter Island Indians to the other tribes of Long Island; namely, 
that of chief. And it further tells us what was the disposition of 
these Indians towards the English: namely, to have been a peace- 
able and friendly one. Besides this, I have been able to gather the 
following, concerning the Indians who lived in this region at that 
time; by which I mean all the territory east of an imaginary line 



12 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

running across Long Island at Riverhead. This territory was pos- 
sessed by four tribes of Indians, the first of which was the "Man- 
hansetts," of this island, whose Sachem was called "Yoco." The 
second was the "Montauks," living on the southern strip of Long 
Island, east of Easthampton, and whose Sachem was called "Waian- 
dance." The third was the "Shinnecocks," living in the region of 
Canoe Place and eastward to perhaps Easthampton, the Sachem of 
which was called, at this time, "Witaneymen" or "Weenaganim." 
The fourth tribe was the "Corchaugs," who possessed the whole of 
the northern strip of Long Island now comprised in the townships 
of Southold and Riverhead, whose Sachem was called "Momoweta." 

The Sachems or chiefs of these four tribes were brothers, the 
oldest of them being "Yoco," the Shelter Island Sachem. He was 
the Grand Sachem, and was called "the Sachem of Paumanack," 
meaning "the land of tribute" or "contributing," as the eastern end 
of Long Island was termed; derived, as we have seen, from the fact 
that the Indians in this region paid tribute, first to the Pequoits 
and afterwards to the English of New England; Indian names, be 
it remembered, being invariably descriptive of locaHty and char- 
acteristics. Our Yoco, however, was not only Grand Sachem of 
these four tribes, but over all the tribes of Long Island, at least as 
far west as Hempstead. He thus had ten or fifteen Sachems under 
him to whom his word was law; the four Sachems of the tribes in 
this region having taken under their protection all the other tribes as 
far west as the Rockaways in Hempstead town. This protectorship 
was agreed upon and confirmed May 29, 1645, by Rockouw, the 
great Sachem of Cotsjewaninck (Ahaquazuwamminck). See Colon- 
ial History of New York, Vol. XIV., p. 60, and Plymouth Co- 
lonial Records, Vol. IX., p. 18. Our Indian Chief Yoco was the 
principal party in making the various conveyances of land to the 
English, in the eastern half of Long Island, as the deeds of those 
early days will show. It was from him that Lion Gardiner pur- 
chased Gardiner's Island, May 3, 1639. In the deed of conveyance 
his name is given as "Yovowan" and his wife's as "Aswaw." 

But we must return again to our starting point in the year of 
1637, for that year is of importance to us, not only as bearing the 
first reference to this island, but as the year in which the Earl of 
Sterling, having acquired the whole of Long Island and its adjacent 
islands, through a grant from the English colony of Plymouth, given 
upon request of King Charles the First, commissioned one James 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church i 3 

Farrett to be his ag-ent in disposing of this territory, for which ser- 
vice he was given the privilege of selecting as his own ten thousand 
of the best acres of the whole domain. With this commission bear- 
ing date of April 20, 1637, a copy of which can be seen in the Town 
Clerk's office of Southampton, Mr. Farrett sailed early in 1638. 
Upon his arrival in the new world he examined the whole of the 
territory covered by his master's patent; and, as one has well said, 
"with unerring judgment chose Shelter Island together with its 
little neighbor, Robbins Island, as his portion," according to the 
terms of his commission. By virtue of this choice and grant our 
island was first known among the English as "Mr. Farrett's Island." 
It is thus referred to in the deed of Southampton drawn up in 1639 
or '40, which can be seen in the Southampton Town Clerk's office 
and is known as "Mr. Farrett's patent." Mr. Farrett, however, did 
not make this island his home, but simply selected it for his own 
commercial purposes. He soon disposed of it to a Mr. Stephen 
Goodyear, a merchant of high standing in the New Haven Colony, 
who bought it in the early part of 1641, and who shortly after the 
purchase became Deputy Governor of the New Haven Colony. 
Some three or four months after purchasing it, Mr. Goodyear sought 
to dispose of this island to the New Haven Company, as the follow- 
ing entry, bearing date of August 30, 164.1, will show, namely: 
"Mr. Goodyear propounded his purchase of Mr. Farrett's Island 
to the town, but it was not accepted." Not being able to dispose 
of the island, it continued in his possession for ten years, or until 
1 65 1, when he sold it to a company of four gentlemen by the names 
of Thomas Middleton, Thomas Rouse, Nathaniel Sylvester and 
Constant Sylvester. The amount that these gentlemen paid to Mr. 
Goodyear for Shelter Island was "sixteen hundred pounds of good 
merchantable muscovado sugar," or a cash equivalent of from fifty to 
one hundred dollars. 

As the years during- which Mr. Goodyear remained the owner of 
this island are memorable ones in the history of England, the mother 
country, and the memorable events of that decade bear directly on 
the settlement of this island by at least one of the four gentlemen who 
purchased it in 1651, we will tarry a moment to dwell upon this 
period. As you know, it is the period taken up by the English 
revolution under Oliver Cromwell, that political upheaval which 
dethroned King Charles the First and his son and successor. King 
Charles the Second. It is the period of the Long Parliament. It is 



14 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

also the period of the Westminster Assembly, that ecclesiastical body 
which formulated our Confession of Faith and Catechism. It is 
the period in which Puritanism and Presbyterianism, after a whole 
century of oppression, came to the top, and Prelacy and Episco- 
palianism went to the bottom. Because of this change in public 
afifairs, the exodus of Independants and Puritans which had been 
going- on for upward of twenty years, ceased. So far as the 
Puritans were concerned, it had lasted twelve years, during which 
some thirty thousand of these God-fearing men had come to America's 
shores. Now, however, the King had been checked in his perse- 
cution. A struggle for supremacy between the King and Parlia- 
ment had arisen. He endeavored to dissolve his Parliament, but was 
thwarted and driven into exile; afterwards taken prisoner, tried, 
condemned and beheaded in 1649. Oliver Cromwell was victorious. 
The royalists were crushed; and in turn they now sought out an 
asylum where they might take refuge. Hearing of the success of 
the Pilgrims and Puritans in this land, they turned their attention 
to this new world, and so they, like the Pilgrims and Puritans before 
them, took refuge in America. "Had there been no Oliver Crom- 
well," says one writer concerning our island, "Had there been no 
Oliver Cromwell, Shelter Island woul-d have had a very different, 
and doubtless much more prosaic history," for it was that overthrow 
of the King by Oliver Cromwell that led the first settlers upon this 
island to leave England and come to America's shores. You can 
see then how the events of those years in England influenced the 
history of Shelter Island. 

Then, too, the events that happened on this side of the Atlantic 
during those years are important to us. For here, too, there was 
a struggle for supremacy, between the Dutch who had settled about 
the Hudson River, and the English who had settled in New Eng- 
land. Both nations contended that Long Island with its adjacent 
islands belonged to them, and sought to take possession. But as 
both could not possess it, they at last agreed to divide it between 
them; the Dutch to take the western half and the English the eastern 
half; the dividing line to extend across the island from the western 
boundary of Oyster Bay straight to the ocean. This agreement 
was signed September 19, 1650, and was sent to England and Hol- 
land for ratification. England, however, refused to recognize the 
claim of the Dutch, and the result was a war, in which the Dutch 
were badly defeated. Such was the condition of things when Mr. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 15 

Goodyear disposed of this island to the four gentlemen already- 
named. This shows us that the causes which led to the settlement 
of this island were altogether different from those which led to the 
settlement of New England. 

Concerning the four gentlemen who purchased this island, I 
have been able to gain the following: they were all engaged in the 
West India sugar industry, perhaps partners in the business. This 
doubtless accounts for the purchase price of the island being six- 
teen hundred pounds of good merchantable muscovado sugar, a 
commodity which Mr. Goodyear, being a merchant, could easily dis- 
pose of. As Mr. Thomas Middleton is mentioned first, he may 
have been the oldest. He is spoken of as Captain. Mr. Middleton 
did not make the island his home. The second of the four gentle- 
men, Mr. Thomas Rouse, is said to have hailed from the neighbor- 
hood of Southwold, England, from whence he went to Barbadoes, 
where he became a wealthy sugar planter and united with the 
Quakers. The remaining two of the company, Nathaniel and Con- 
stant Sylvester, were brothers, the sons of Giles Sylvester, of Eng- 
land. They too had gone to the Barbadoes, and there engaged in 
the sugar business. Before going, however, to Barbadoes, they 
emigrated with their father to Holland, where the elder Sylvester 
passed away. This fact coupled with others to be mentioned would 
indicate that the Sylvesters were not in sympathy with the Estab- 
lished Church. Upon the death of the father in Holland, the family, 
consisting of the widow, four sons, Nathaniel, Constant, Giles and 
Joshua, and two daughters, moved to Barbadoes, where Nathaniel 
and Constant at least became prominent merchants, the latter be- 
ing in time a member of the Governor's Council, and remaining 
there until his death in 167 1. A fifth son, Peter, remained in London. 

Nathaniel Sylvester soon changed his place of abode to Shelter 
Island, being the only one of the four to do so. He was followed 
later on by two of his brothers, Giles and Joshua, Giles remaining 
but a few years, after which he returned to England, where he mar- 
ried and died, while Joshua, after living with his brother a few years 
moved to Southold. I am told that the name of the vessel in which 
Nathaniel Sylvester came from the West Indies to Shelter Island 
was the "Golden Parrot." This was in the year 1652, the year after 
the purchase of the island from Mr. Goodyear, hence the date of 
the first white settlement on Shelter Island. 

Upon coming here to live Nathaniel Sylvester brought with 



1 6 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

him a young lady in the person of Grissel Brinley, whom he had 
lately married. This young lady was the daughter of Thomas Brin- 
ley, Esq., of Datchett, in County Bucks, the parish so well known 
to the million of readers of Shakespeare's play, ''The Merry Wives 
of Windsor." Her father was auditor under Charles the First and 
Charles the Second, also keeper of the accounts of the dower of 
Henrietta Maria, positions implying great friendship of the royal 
family. In the middle aisle of the church at Datchett, near Windsor, 
lies a tombstone after English fashion bearing this inscription: 
"Thomas Brinley, Esq., Auditor General of the Revenues of King 
Charles I and H. Born in the city of Exon, married Anna Wade 
of Pettsworth in Sussex, by whom he had five sons and seven 
daughters. He was born in 1591, died 1661. One of his daughters 
married Nathaniel Sylvester, Esq. Francis, one of his sons, ac- 
cepted a grant of land for his father's services and went to New- 
port, R. I." Because of his friendly offices to the king Mr. Brinley's 
estate was confiscated and a warrant issued for his arrest. He man- 
aged, however, to escape to the continent, where he was obliged to 
live in exile until the death of Oliver Cromwell and the return of 
Charles the Second to England, when he also returned and died 
shortly after. During his exile his family had been scattered, his 
daughter Grissel, at the early age of sixteen, having married Na- 
thaniel Sylvester in 1652. Upon their marriage the young couple 
went to America, touching on their way at Barbadoes, where they 
were handsomely entertained at the home of Mr. Constant Sylvester. 
After leaving Barbadoes, and while nearing the coast of New Eng- 
land, they were shipwrecked, losing much of their goods which they 
had brought with them for their new home on this island. It was 
indeed an eventful journey, a brave undertaking for the young wife 
of sixteen. At last they reached this place and began to lay the 
foundation of a family career that may well be the pride of every 
Shelter Islander. 

They were not long on the island before the Indians disputed 
their title and made complaint to the Commissioners of the United 
Colonies of New England assembled at Hartford. One of their 
number, called Checkanoe, appearing before that body on the 2d 
of September, 1652, to enter a protest, as the following record will 
show: "Whereas we were informed by Checkanoe, an Indian of 
Menhansick Island, on behalf of the Indian inhabitants of said 
island, that they are disturbed in their possession by Captain Mid- 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 1 7 

dleton and his agents, upon pretense of a purchase from Mr. Good- 
year, of New Haven, who bought the same of one Mr. Forrett, a 
Scotchman, and by vertue thereof, the said Indians are threatened 
to be forced off the said island, and to seek an habitation where they 
can get it; the said Indians deny that they sold the said island to 
the said Forrett, and that the said Forrett was a poor man, not able 
to purchase it, but the said Indians gave to said Forrett some part 
of the said island, and marked it out by some trees; yet never that 
themselves be deprived of their habitation there, and therefore they 
desired that the Commissioners (they being their tributaries) to 
see they have justice in the premises, the Commissioners therefore, 
in regard the said Mr. Goodyear is not present, and at their court, 
to hear the complaint of the said Indians, and to satisfy the said 
Indians if they can, if not to certify the Commissioners at the 
next meeting, the truth of the promises, that some further order 
may be taken therein as shall be meet." As a result of this protest 
Capt. Middleton and his associates had to purchase Shelter Island 
a second time from the Indians, the deed of which second purchase 
appears among the records of Easthampton bearing date of Dec. 
27th, 1652. Also a confirmatory paper of this second purchase is on 
file among the Southold Town records, and reads as follows: 

"Wee whose names are here underneath subscribed doe hereby 
testify and declare that Yokee, formerly Sachem of Manhansick 
Ahaquatawamock, now called Shelter Island, did on the three 
and twentieth of March, 1652, give full Possession unto Capt. Na- 
thaniel Silvester and Ensigne John Booth of the aforesaid island 
of Ahaquatawamock, with all that was belonging to the same. And 
hee the said Yokee, delivered unto the aforesaid Captaine Nathaniel 
Silvester and Ensign John Booth one turfe and twige in their hands 
according to the usual custome of England; after which delivery and 
full possession given, the said Yokee with all his Indians that were 
formerly belonging to said island of Ahaquatawamock did freely 
and willingly depart the aforesaid island, leaving the aforesaid Cap- 
taine Nathaniel Silvester and Ensigne Booth in full possession of 
the same. Unto which we Witness our hands the date as above 
being the 23d of March, 1652. 

"JOHN HERBERT of Southold. 

"CAPT. ROBERT SEELEY of New Haven. 

"DANIEL LANE of New London. 

"GILES SILVESTER." 



1 8 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

From the date of this paper it would seem that this transaction 
took place early in the year of 1652, prior even to the protest lodged 
with the Commissioners at Hartford, in consequence of which this 
second purchase from the Indians had to be made. But we need 
to remember that at that time the year began either after the lotli 
or with the 25th of March and not on the ist of January. This 
made the first part of March to belong to the old year and the latter 
part to the new year. Hence the date of the above paper, being be- 
fore the 25th of March, namely, the 23d of March, it belonged to 
the old year as indicated, 1652, though according to our method it 
would be 1653. We do not know what was the purchase price of 
this second sale, but with this sale the Indians agreed among other 
things to put away all their dogs; these dogs, it may be interesting 
to know, are believed to have been young wolves which the Indians 
had caught and trained to do them service, but which in spite of 
their training continued to be very ravenous, a frequent source of 
annoyance to the white settlers. 

You will notice that in the confirmatory paper just read, it is 
stated that shortly after the second conveyance the Indians left this 
Island. If so, they dispersed among the Montauks, Shinnecocks and 
Corchaugs. Perhaps they scattered because of their Sachem's 
death, for Yoco, their chief, and the supreme chief of all the Long 
Island Indians, passed away to the happy hunting grounds in 
1653. At least, such is the opinion of certain writers. In the 
Chronicles of East Hampton, by the late David Gardiner, there is 
an interesting account of the funeral of our noted Chief Yoco, which 
reads as follows: "His remains were transported for burial from 
Shelter Island to Montaukett, where was the burying ground of the 
Indians. In removing the body, the bearers rested the bier by the 
side of the road leading from Sag Harbour to Easthampton, near the 
third mile stone, where a small excavation was made to designate the 
spot. From that time to the present, more than 190 years, this mem- 
orial has remained, as fresh, seemingly, as if but lately made. Neither 
leaf nor stone, nor any other thing, has been suffered to rem.ain in 
it. The Montauk tribe, though reduced to a beggarly number of 
some ten or fifteen drunken and degraded beings, have retained to 
this day the memory of the event, and no one individual of them now 
passes the spot in his wanderings without removing whatever may 
have fallen into it. The place is to them holy ground, and the exhi- 
bition of this pious act does honor to the finest feelings of the human 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church ig 

heart. The excavation is about 12 inches in depth and 18 inches in 
diameter, in the form of a mortar." As late as 1845 'the Rev. N. S. 
Prime, author of "An Ecclesiastical History of Long Island," being 
acquainted with the foregoing fact, examined the place anew and 
found it in its original form and freshness as above described. When 
the turnpike between Sag Harbor and Easthampton was laid out 
about i860, the spot was plowed up and the sacred memorial of over 
two hundred years' standing was obliterated. One of Sag Harbor's 
respected citizens told me this past week, while speaking of this 
matter, that she remembered very well the very spot, and had seen 
with her own eyes the reverence that was paid to it by the Indians. 
She spoke of an Indian in particular, known in Sag Harbor as 
Stephen Pharaoh, or Talkhouse, who would get down by that spot 
whenever he passed and clean it out reverently, following the cus- 
tom of his forefathers. This Indian died in 1882. That spot was 
known as "Whooping Boys' Hollow," so called because the Indians 
who bore the body of Yoco gave a parting whoop as they resumed 
their funeral march. 

Before leaving the aborigines of this place, so interesting 
in their history, I wish to call your attention to another mem- 
ber of the Manhansett tribe, brother-in-law to Yoco, the chief, an 
Indian who played a most important part in the various transactions 
between the English and the Indians, acting as their interpreter and 
notary public. He has already been mentioned in this paper, for 
he was the representative of the Manhansett tribe before the com- 
missioners at Hartford, when the protest was made, upon the 
strength of which Captain Nathaniel Silvester and his associates 
had to pay a second time for this island. He is there called 
"Checkanoe, an Indian of Manhansick Island." Just a year ago 
Mr. William Wallace Tooker, of Sag Harbor, issued a work en- 
titled "John Eliot's First Indian Interpreter, Cockenoe-de-Long 
Island," an exceedingly interesting essay on this very Indian of 
Shelter Island. I have read and re-read this book with great inter- 
est, and believe with Mr. Tooker that this "Checkanoe, an Indian 
of Manhansick Island," was the young Indian who was so helpful to 
John Eliot, the great apostle to the Indians, both in acquiring the 
Indian language, in preaching to the Indians, and also in his trans- 
lation of the Bible into the Algonquian tongue, which was the lan- 
guage of the Indians. I have not the time to dwell longer upon this 
unique character, who for nearly fifty years was such an important 



20 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

factor in the transactions of the early settlers with the Indians. His 
memory, however, is honored to this day, his name being given to an 
island in Long Island Sound, near the mouth of the Saugatuck river, 
in 1652, called "Cockenoe's Island," and is so designated at the 
present time on the Coast Survey Chart of the United States. It 
will pay you to read this book, which can be had from our Public 
Library. One thing, however, I wish to state, namely: This young 
Indian's literary ability is an evidence to me that God has made of 
one blood all nations that dwell upon the face of the earth. For 
just as soon as this Indian's mind was brought in contact with in- 
tellectual training, it readily grasped the knowledge that was sought 
to be conveyed and responded quickly to every intellectual touch, 
though it were but the mind of a heathen, offspring of a heathen 
ancestry that perhaps had never known literary characters. To me 
it was a surprising evidence of the truth that God is the Creator of 
us all and that we are all, white and red man, the offspring of a 
common parent.

CHAPTER 11. 

Our first installment of this historical paper closed with the 
burial of the great Manhansett chief Yoco and a reference to an- 
other celebrated Manhansett Indian named "Cockenoe." We now 
turn from the red man to the white man, from the aborigines to 
the original settlers of this island. 

It is said that when Mr. Goodyear, Deputy Governor of New 
Haven, sold this island, in 1651, to Messrs. Middleton, Rouse and 
the Sylvester brothers, at least one of the four gentlemen, Captain 
Nathaniel Sylvester, was on the island or had visited it at the time 
of the purchase. This gentleman, as we have seen, decided to make 
the island his home. To that end, in due time, he shipped at least 
one cargo of building material, together with other articles, send- 
ing with these goods a force of workmen, who were to prepare a 
habitation for his coming. He had gone to England, and there early 
the next year, 1652, married Grissel Brinley, with whom he came 
to Shelter Island to make it his home. With them there came to 
America, Francis Brinley, brother of Mrs. Nathaniel Sylvester, who 
afterwards, according to the inscription on the slab in the aisle of 
the church at Dachette, received a grant of land in Rhode Island. 
There was also in the party another bride, sister of Francis Brinley 
and Mrs. Sylvester, namely, Anne Brinley, who had married Gov. 
William Coddington of Rhode Island, and finally besides these Giles 
Sylvester. These first touched at Barbadoes, from whence they sailed 
in the "Golden Parrot" for Shelter Island, arriving about the middle 
of 1652; that is. Captain Nathaniel Sylvester and his wife, Giles and 
Joshua Sylvester, Giles' name, as you will remember, appearing as 
one of the witnesses of the confirmatory paper of the second purchase 
of the island by Captain Nathaniel Sylvester and Ensign John Booth 
from the Indians. Giles is also mentioned in a letter written by 
Nathaniel Sylvester to Gov. John Winthrop of Connecticut, who 
lived at that time on Fisher's Island, bearing date of October 10, 
1654. Joshua's name appears among the names of the early settlers 
of Southold in Dr. Whitaker's history of that place. Captain Na- 
thaniel Sylvester brought with him, besides his wife and brothers, 
several servants and some slaves from Barbadoes. These, with 
what workmen were upon the island at their coming, constituted the 



2 2 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

first white settlement. In the course of time the settlement was in- 
creased by natural results, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester becoming the 
parents of a large family of children, the first of which came upon 
earth about the middle of August, 1654, for in another letter to Mr. 
Winthrop, of Fisher's Island, bearing date of September 8, 1655, ^.d- 
vice is sought in behalf of this baby, who had become ill, in these 
pathetic words: "Our grief is great to see the child lay in ye sad con- 
dition and here quite out of ye way of help." 

Captain Nathaniel Sylvester became in time the owner of the 
whole island. We shall have occasion later on to trace this develop- 
ment in the ownership of our island. Thus far we have had occasion 
to mention, since the sale in 165 1, in turn, the years of 1652, 1653, 
1654, 1655. We now come to another interesting period. It is the 
period of the persecution of the Quakers in New England, beginning 
in 1656 and lasting till 1661. To us it is a surprising thing, that in this 
land of ours, persons should have been persecuted even unto death 
for their religious belief. Yet such is the truth. Persecuted, tortured, 
scourged and branded with hot irons. Among those who suffered 
thus was John Rouse, son of Thomas Rouse, one of the four gentlemen 
who bought this island from Mr. Goodyear. This John Rouse had 
his ears cut off for being a Quaker. Others were banished from the 
New England colonies upon pain of death if they returned. Such 
was the treatment that the New England settlers meted out to the 
Quakers. The adherents of this sect were looked upon then in 
about the same light as we look upon anarchists now. It was during 
these troublous times that this island became indeed a Shelter Island, 
as many of these persecuted Quakers found an asylum here and 
were succored by Captain Nathaniel Sylvester and his family. 

Notably among those who found such shelter were Lawrence 
and Cassandra Southwick, an aged couple. After having been put 
into prison, starved and flogged, they were banished from New 
England with the threat that if they ever returned they would be 
put to death. The threat was not needed, for shortly after they had 
been received upon this island, they died and are believed to have 
been buried in the ancient graveyard now on the Horsford estate. 
The poet Whittier, you know, has immortalized this act of shelter- 
ing these refugees by making it the subject of one of his finest 
poems. Mary Dyer, who was hung upon Boston Commons, also 
received succor for a time on this island. Likewise William Leddra 
and Joseph Nicholson and wife. These, together with others, were 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 23 

here kindly treated and cared for, their wounds dressed and healed, 
and their spirits cheered and strengthened. 

Besides these, others of this sect who came from Englan'd, not- 
ably John Taylor, of York, and William Robinson and George Fox, 
the great apostle of the Friends or Quakers, touched first at Shelter 
Island or in time tarried here. 

James Bowden, in his "History of the Society of Friends," says 
that except this island and the colony of Rhode Island, there was 
not at this time a nook in the colonies of North America on which a 
Friend could land without exposing himself to severe suffering 
and the ship-master to a heavy penalty. The possession, therefore, 
of this island, he adds, by one who loved the truth was a providential 
circumstance peculiarly favorable to Friends at this juncture, and 
not to be viewed as one of mere chance. 

From all this it has been claimed by one and another that 
Nathaniel Sylvester and his family were Quakers or Friends. Dr. 
Charles Evans, author of "Friends in the 17th Century," says that 
"he either became a Friend at the time he purchased the island, or 
he was convinced of the principles of the Friends soon after he ob- 
tained possession of it. Here the weary exiles, on account of re- 
ligion, always found a home and a heart to receive, to succor and 
refresh them, so that the kindness and liberality of Nathaniel Syl- 
vester were widely known and highly appreciated by Friends in 
America and Great Britain." 

James Bowden in his work, to which reference has already been 
made, says of Nathaniel Sylvester that when he joined in religious 
professions with Friends, we are uninformed; but as early as the 
third month of 1659 he is referred to as one who had adopted our 
principles." This is also the opinion of his descendants, who live 
upon the estate to-day. Both Bowden and Evans think that these 
friendly acts of succor and refuge, which the proprietor of this 
island extended to the persecuted Quakers, gave to this island its 
present name of Shelter Island. As we shall have occasion to 
speak of the names given to this island at various times and their 
origin presently, we shall let this claim stand until then. 

There is an interesting paper among the records of Southold, 
bearing date of the 28th of the eleventh month of 1657, the origin 
of which is perhaps connected with the persecution of the Quakers. 
This persecution led the writer to express himself rather strongly, 
which he afterwards regrets and retracts, as the paper will show. 



24 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

It is signed by Giles Sylvester, and reads as follows: "Whereas, I 
am accused to say that all the ministers in New England were worse 
than witches, I owne I said soe, for which I am heartily sorrowfull, 
and owne to bee very inconsiderately spoken and to my folly and 
wickedness in it, and hope the Lord shall guide my wayes and words 
to be more circumspect and like to himselfe. Then the parties that 
heard them finding themselves grieved, I told them that I meane noe 
other than those that were formall and not spirituall, such was my 
meaning, though not expressed till exception was made; therefore, 
I say, as I sayed, it is very evill in me or in any man to say any such 
thing, for we ought not to speak evill of any man." 

28th of the iim., 1657. GILES SYLVESTER. 

Before leaving the Quakers it is worthy of record that George 
Fox, the founder of this sect, twice visited this island and was en- 
tertained by the Sylvesters. The Rev. Mr. Fox, in his journal of 
1672, speaks of his visits to this island, and of his preaching to the 
Indians and the people, who were deeply impressed by what he said 
unto them. 

And now let me refer briefly to the various names that have been 
given to this island. The first is Cotjewaminick, which appears 
upon a deed given to Sir Gardiner by Yoco, the Manhansick chief. 
It was also called by the Indians "Manhansick Ahaquashuwornock" 
or "Manhansick Ahaquazuwamuck," which is said to mean "at or 
about the island sheltered their fishing place," or "their sheltered 
fishing place at or about the island." The first English name which 
it bore was Mr. Farrett's Island or Farrett's Island. After Mr. 
Farrett sold the island to Mr. Goodyear, it was also known as 
Goodyear's Island, and when Mr. Goodyear disposed of it to the 
four English gentlemen, one of whom selected it as his dwelling 
place, namely. Captain Nathaniel Sylvester, it was known as Syl- 
vester Island, appearing as such upon record as late as 1674. How- 
ever, long before this, it was also called Shelter Island, and this, too, 
before the Quaker persecution began. Indeed, it is so called in the 
confirmatory paper, bearing date March 23, 1652, namely, "Wee 
whose names are here underneath subscribed do hereby testify and 
declare that Yokee, formerly Sachem of Menhansick Ahaquazuwa- 
muck, now called Shelter Island." Hence Bowden and Evans are 
wrong in claiming that because of the friendly acts of succor and 
refuge which the proprietor of this island extended to the persecuted 
Quakers, the island received its present name of Shelter Island. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 25 

■^It received this name upon the coming of the Sylvesters in 1652, 
without doubt, suggested and determined by the meaning of the 
Indian name, Manhansick Ahaquatuwamock, a sheltered island or 
Shelter Island."^ It is a goodly name, and long may it be signifi- 
cant, not only of a popular watering place, but of friendliness, love 
of mankind, liberty of conscience, nobility of character, and every 
grace that should adorn a Christian and God-fearing community. 

Let us now resume the tracing out of the various owners of this 
island. These have thus far been: 

The Manhansett tribe of Indians ; 

King Charles I.; 

Earl of Stirling; 

James Farrett; 

Stephen Goodyear, and 

Messrs. Middleton, Rouse, Nathaniel and Constant Sylvester. 
Now another name is introduced as part owner, namely, that of 
Ensign John Booth, who with Captain Sylvester made the purchase 
from the Indians in December, 1652. It may be that this John 
Booth simply represented Messrs. Middleton, Rouse and Constant 
Sylvester, as there is another paper on record bearing the date of 
1656, which implies that Thomas Rouse was still the owner of one- 
fourth of the island, that paper being a release of his quarter of the 
island to Thomas Middleton for John Booth. John Booth thus, in 
1656, takes the place of Thomas Rouse, and the owners are Middle- 
ton, Booth, Nathaniel and Constant Sylvester. This ownership 
continued for a while, when John Booth withdrew by selHng his 
portion to Nathaniel Sylvester for 700 pounds sterling. Nathaniel 
Sylvester soon after conveyed a portion of this newly acquired 
quarter to his brother Constant. This happened September 12, 
1662. It was now in the hands of Thomas Middleton, Nathaniel 
Sylvester and Constant Sylvester, and continued so until 1673, 
when Captain Nathaniel Sylvester became sole proprietor of the 
island, as will be shortly seen from documents bearing that date. 
Let us, however, return again to old England, for there certain 
things have happened since last we referred to her, that, like previous 
events, affected this island during these years of Captain Nathaniel 
Sylvester's residence upon it and in the progress of which he be- 
came sole proprietor. Our last reference to the mother country 
closed with Oliver Cromwell's decisive victory over the royalist 
forces, by which he became ruler of all England, assuming the title, 



26 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

not of King, but of Protector. He continued thus until his death in 
1658. We also had occasion to state the rejection on the part 
of Cromwell for England, of the proposed division of Long Island, 
between the Dutch and the English, according to the proposed 
treaty agreed upon at Hartford, in 1650, between the Dutch and 
English colonists, which treaty was sent to Holland and England 
for ratification. In rejecting this treaty, the claims of the Dutch 
were entirely ignored, the reason given being in these words, "of not 
knowing of any plantations of the Netherlands there, save a small 
number upon Hudson's River." This, as was then stated, resulted in 
war, in which the EngHsh were the victors. While this war lasted, 
which was for about two years, there were troublous times for our 
early settlers here. Upon Cromwell's death, September 3, 1658, 
his eldest son, Richard, was proclaimed his successor. But he was 
not the success his father was at ruling, and so the people once more 
desired the restoration of kingly rule, inviting Charles II. to 
return and assume the crown, which he did on the 29th of May, 
1660. 

He immediately issued orders to the New England colonies to 
cease their persecution of the Quakers, having been kept informed, 
while in exile, of their suffering, through the writings of Mrs. Syl- 
vester to her father, who was always near the King in his flight. 
On the 1 2th of March, 1663, King Charles II. gave to his brother, 
the Duke of York, an extensive grant of territory in the New World, 
which included the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam and the 
whole of Long Island. Immediately upon receiving this patent, the 
Duke of York sought to take possession by constituting Colonel 
Richard Nicholls Deputy Governor of the Colony, and commission- 
ing him to take possession of this territory. The following year, or 
in 1664, he sailed with a fleet of man-of-warsmen, and in due time 
appeared in New York harbor. He immediately issued a summons 
to surrender, which he enforced without bloodshed, and thus the 
English became possessors of New Amsterdam, now called New 
York in honor of the Duke of York, and the whole of Long Island, 
including the adjacent islands. This necessitated a confirmation in 
the title of this island, which the Sylvester brothers sought and re- 
ceived from Governor Nicolls. They also received from Governor 
Nicholls a perpetual exemption from taxes and other public bur- 
dens upon the payment of £150, "one-half of which was to be in beef 
and the other half in pork."

These papers read as follows, the latter, namely, the release, 
bearing the earlier date of the two, and therefore given first: "Rich-

The confirmation is as follows: " A tract of land lying and being 
in a certain bite, bay, or arm of the sea, which runneth between the 
lands of Easthampton, Southampton and Southold, in the East 
Riding of Yorkshire, upon Long Island, heretofore purchased

mon soccage, and by fealty only, yielding and paying yearly one 



28 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

lamb, upon the first day of May, if the same shall be demanded." 
This paper bears the date of May 31, 1666. 

You will notice, please, that in this document Governor Nicoll 
places Shelter Island on the same footing with "any other town, in- 
franchised place or manor within this government." Thus, as early 
as 1666 Shelter Island was designated as a town, though not fully 
organized as such by the selection of proper officers until 1730. 

For a few years after this the island continued in the peaceful 
ownership of the Sylvester brothers and Thomas Middleton, But 
only for a few years. For in 1673, seven years later, the Dutch sud- 
denly recaptured New York and all their lost territory. This in- 
volved another change in the government and proprietorship of 
this island. Governor Colve, now being the ruler of Long Island 
and its adjacent islands, by a formal act, dated April 28, 1673, de- 
clared Constant Sylvester and Thomas Middleton enemies of the 
government and confiscated their ownership and interests in Shelter 
Island. Constant Sylvester in the meantime had died, leaving his 
portion to his heirs, while Thomas Middleton was in England. To 
enforce this confiscation, several Dutch men-of-war appeared of? 
Shelter Island, with the following result as set forth in the colonial 
documents of that day, written in Dutch, the translation of which, 
as here given, being an exact copy of what is on record at the State 
Capitol in Albany. 

"Nathaniel Sylvester delivered in council an extract from his 
Privileges. He was commanded to produce the original, which he 
said he left home — on which the protocol being examined it was 
ascertained that the Heirs of his Brother, late Constant Sylvester, 
with one cos. Middleton, residing in England, were co-partners of 
the Island, named Shelter Island' — whose share must be confis- 
cated in behalf of the State. 

"To which the aforesaid Nathaniel Sylvester replys that a con- 
siderable sum of money was due to him by the aforesaid heirs of 
Constant Sylvester — ^but after many discussions pro and con it was 
finally agreed with the aforesaid Nathaniel Sylvester that he, in 
compensation for the action of said heirs of Constant Sylvester and 
Thomas Middel-towne — as for the confirmation of his Privileges — 
shall pay to the Government the sum of five hundred pounds in pro- 
vision of this country." 

Following is the confiscation of Shelter Island and its transfer 
to Nathaniel Sylvester: 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 29 

"We, Cornelis Evertse, Jun., and Jacob Benckes, Comm., with 
our Military Counsil of the Navy, in the service of Their High and 
Mighty Lords, the States General of the United Netherlands, and 
His Serene Highness the Lord Prince of Orange, greeting — 

"Be it known that we, in virtue of our commission of aforesaid 
High and Mighty Lords are authorised and qualified to make war 
with our men-of-war and confided soldiers against the King of 
England and France and their subjects — pubHck enemies of our 
State and to inflict them all possible damages by water as well as 
on land, and if possible to take and conquer their possessions, and 
when conquered to confiscate these in behalf of the High and 
Mighty Lords, the States General of the United Netherlands and 
His Serene Highness the Lord Prince of Orange, and further to 
dispose of these to their best advantage, so is it that we in virtue of 
aforesaid commission endeavored to execute it — for this end 
which by force of arms lawfully and brought under the submission 
of our Masters Fort James, now WilHam Hendrick named, with 
the city of New-Yorke, now named New Orange, situated on the 
Island Manhattans, with all the lands, places and territories de- 
pendant from it, so as those were lately possessed by the subjects 
and in virtue of the commission of His Majesty of England, under 
the patronage of the Duke of Yorke, among which lands and ter- 
ritories is discovered a certain island known by the name of Shelter 
Island, situated to the east of Long Island, now in possession of 
Nathaniel Silvester — to whom however it belongs in part with heirs 
of Constant Sylvester and cos. Thomas Middletowne, residing in 
England, the Barbadoes, being subjects of his Majesty of England 
and of course open enemies of our Lords and Masters aforesaid, 
to whom in no manner can be permitted the liberty granted to all 
our good subjects who cheerfully submitted themselves under our 
obedience — but that in conformity to the laws and customs of all 
nations the goods and effects of our aforesaid enemies ought to be 
confiscated; therefore, we, in virtue of our aforesaid commission, 
confiscated in behalf of the aforesaid High and Mighty Lords, the 
State's General of the united Netherlands and his Serene High- 
ness the Lord Prince of Orange, after mature deliberation with our 
military tribunal, all the right, property, title and pretention which 
the aforesaid heirs of Constant Sylvester and Thomas Middletowne, 
or any other individual of our lawful enemies may have in aforesaid 
island named Shelter Island. So as we now confiscate all their 



20 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

interest and property in behalf of our Lords and Masters — never- 
theless well understood that in this confiscation it is not in 

well expressly, after mature deliberation excluded the rights and 
property of aforesaid Nathaniel Sylvester, either in regard to said 
Island or his other real and personal property — goods, effects, fur- 
niture, negros or whatever else within this government may belong 
to him as lawful property — while his submission to the allegeaince 
of our aforesaid Lords and Masters, Their High and Mighty Lords 
the State's General of the united Netherlands and his Serene High- 
ness the Lord Prince of Orange entitles him with all our other 
good subjects to an equal protection with him. 

"In Fort William Hendrick on 28 of Aug., 1673. 

"This day Nathaniel Sylvester, agreeable to the agreement con- 
cluded on yesterday, delivered his bond at the Secretary's office of 
Secretary Bayard, on which the following transfer was made to him 
and confirmed: 

"The noble, valiant Military Tribunal in behalf of the High and 
Mighty Lords, the States General of the united Netherlands and 
His Serene Highness the Lord Prince of Orange — commanding the 
Squadron now at anchor in Hudson's River, in New Netherlands — 
greeting be it known : Whereas we in virtue of our commission by a 
preceeding Act for sufficient motive confiscated in behalf of our 
Master the lands, house, and goods, negros and effects of what nature 
these might be, which belonged to the heirs of the late Constant 
Sylvester and cos. Thomas Middleton, situated on Shelter Island, 
to the east of Long Island, and being property belonging to sub- 
jects of England and publick enemies of our State, so is it, that we 
have deemed it proper and resolved to confiscate said house, lands 
with all the goods, negros, and effects belonging to enemies of our 
State as aforesaid in behalf of our Lords and Masters and to sell 
these to their advantage — so as we then in conformity with this 
resolution agreed with Nathaniel Sylvester a partner of aforesaid 
Shelter Isl. to whom the aforesaid interest, right and title of the 
aforesaid heirs of Con. Sylvester and Thomas Middleton was sold 
by us for the sum of five hundred Pound Sterling, payable in con- 
formity to certain bond (obligation), declaring therefore to the 
aforesaid Nathaniel Sylvester, his heirs and posterity in considera- 
ting of the aforesaid sum to transfer and dedicate, so as we are doing 
by this all the interest, right and title which the aforesaid heirs of 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 31 

Constant Sylvester and Thomas Middleton might possess in afore- 
said Island and its dependences as aforesaid, to be taken pos- 
session of, used and retained in full and lawful property by aforesaid 
Nathaniel Sylvester, his heirs and posterity — and further to act with 
it so as they might think proper or should wish to act with any other 
parts of the patrimonial land or effects with a further confirmation 
of all advantages, immunities and privileges, which have been 
granted and consented to the Island by the former Governor — 
as namely, execution of all taxes, either Politick or Military — the 
Custom House duties and recognition excepted — except that it 
might please their High and Mighty Lords the States General to 
resolve on any new general tax Item — That they shall not be amena- 
ble before any inferior Courts of Justice, but shall be prosecuted 
before the Chief Magistrate, and farther, that they shall not be 
obliged to attend any training, nor maintain any soldiers, neither to 
supply any necessaries of war — except what they voluntarily shall 
contribute for the defence of the aforesaid Island and Governor in 
a time of danger against any foreign invasion or troubles with the 
savages, all which aforesaid liberties and immunities annexed to the 
possession of aforesaid Island are by this again confirmed to the 
aforesaid Sylvester and his posterity — besides the liberty of con- 
science and all other privileges and immunities as shall be granted 
to all other subjects under this Government. 
"Done fort William Hendrick, 
29 Aug., 1673." 

Nathaniel Sylvester has now become sole owner of Shelter 
Island. Shortly after the Dutch were again forced to surrender the 
Colony of New York to the English, but before doing so the Dutch 
Governor sent a ship with fifty soldiers to Shelter Island to collect 
the amount of the bond that Nathaniel Sylvester had given. 

In his will, dated 1679, M^- Sylvester tells how these soldiers 
landed on Shelter Island, surrounded his house and compelled him 
to pay this amount of five hundred pounds sterling. The Sylvesters 
have now lived twenty-two eventful years on this island and become 
the sole proprietors. During these years the Lord has prospered 
them materially, numerically and spiritually. The sugar trade has 
proved to be very lucrative, and the two earnest souls of Nathaniel 
and Grissel Sylvester have been blessed with eleven children, six 
sons and five daughters, named Giles, Nathaniel, Constant, Peter, 



22 Slielter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Benjamin, Joshua, Grissel, Patience, Eliza, Ann and Mercy. 
Two of the daughters, Grissel and Patience, are said to have been 
very handsome women. Both of them had very romantic court- 
ships, Grissel at first being engaged to a wealthy young English- 
man named Latimer Sampson, chief proprietor of what is now 
known on Long Island as Loyd's Neck. Mr. Sampson, being 
seized with consumption, died before their marriage, leaving all his 
possessions by will to his intended. Miss Grissel Sylvester. This 
was in 1674. Two years later she married James Loyd, of Boston, 
and became the progenitor of a distinguished line of descendants. 

Patience Sylvester became the wife of Benjamin L'Hommedieu, 
an exiled Huguenot. Their meeting and courtship is so sweetly 
told by Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, in her article entitled, "The Manor of 
Shelter Island," that I shall make use of her language in telling it, 
namely: "The marriage of Patience Sylvester, the sister of Mrs. 
Lloyd, was also an exceptionally romantic afifair. Among the exiled 
Huguenots of the period was Benjamin L'Hommedieu, who settled 
in Southold. There being no church on Shelter Island, the Syl- 
vester famil)' were accustomed to attend Sabbath worship in 
Southold. One pleasant Sunday morning soon after his arrival, 
L'Hommedieu was attracted by an extremely novel object moving 
over the sparkling waters of the bay. As it came nearer he ob- 
served two remarkably handsome young women in a barge with a 
canopy over it, and six negro slaves rowing it. The vision haunted 
him. He went to church that morning, and despite Puritanical 
customs, permitted his eyes to remain open during prayers. The 
story is so like every other love story that it is hardly necessary to 
say that his French heart was hopelessly lost before the preacher 
had reached 'Amen' in his benediction. The sequel was a beautiful 
wedding, and Miss Patience Sylvester was henceforward Mrs. 
L'Hommedieu." She and her husband were likewise blessed with 
a remarkable progeny. The third daughter, Eliza, married Jona- 
than Brown, of this island. Of the sons three died without issue, 
leaving their inheritance of the island to Giles, the eldest son, so 
that in time Giles became the owner of four-fifths of the island, 
the other fifth being inherited by the second son, Nathaniel, who 
at this time lived in Newport, R. I. And now we come to the 
obituary note of Capt. Nathaniel Sylvester, the first white settler 
on the island, and whose relation to the memory and place is of such 
lasting interest to us. This truly good and noble soul passed away 



1R^ 




Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 3^ 

in 1680. What we have been able to learn of him justifies the high 
eulogy that is chiselled into the stone erected to his memory by the 
Horsford's in the old cemetery upon their estate, and which reads as 
follows: "To Nathaniel Sylvester, First Resident proprietor of the 
Manor of Shelter Island, under Grant of Charles II, A. D. 1666. 
An Englishman intrepid. Loyal to Duty, Faithful to friendship, 
The soul of integrity and Honor, Hospitable to Worth and Cul- 
ture, Sheltering ever the persecuted for conscience sake." 

We turn now to another family, which likewise became promi- 
nent in the history of this island. I refer to the Nicoll\ family. The 
date of this family's appearance in America is 1664, and the occa- 
sion and person through whom the family came to the New World 
was Matthias Nicoll, brother of Col. Richard Nicoll, commander 
of the expedition sent out by the Duke of York to take possession 
of New Amsterdam, Long Island and other territory. Upon the 
capture of New York and the assumption of the Governorship of the 
Colony by Col. Richard Nicoll, Matthias Nicoll was appointed by his 
brother, the Governor, secretary of the colony and member of the 
Governor's council. He was also appointed a judge of the Court 
of Sessions, and in 1672 became the first Mayor of New York. He 
was then a very prominent and influential citizen in the early history 
of this country. He died in the latter part of 1687. One son at 
least survived him, named William, who it is presumed by the his- 
torian Thompson, was born in England, and came over when a boy 
with his father in 1664, as in 1683 he was appointed the first Clerk of 
Queens County, which position he held until 1688. He was highly 
educated, choosing the profession of law, in which he became very 
prominent, being one of the ablest lawyers of the New York bar. 
Col. Richard Nicoll was succeeded in the Governorship by Col. 
Lovelace in 1667. Col. Lovelace's term was brought to a sudden 
end by the appearance of the Dutch and their retaking of New York 
in 1673. While under the Dutch rule Anthony Color was Governor. 
Then came the restoration again to English rule, bringing with it 
the appointment of Edmund Andros as Governor. He continued 
until 1683, when Col. Thomas Dougan was commissioned by the 
Duke of York to act as Governor. During the term of Gov. 
Dougan Charles II died in 1685. His brother, the Duke of York, 
succeeded him, taking the title of James II. He immediately re- 
voked the powers which had been given to former governors to call 
assemblies in which the people were to have a voice in the govern- 



24 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

ment of the colonies, and determined that the governors should 
rule solely by his direction and instructions. All the colonies of 
New England now came under the King's power, including New 
York. And over all these Sir Edmund Andros was appointed ruler 
or Governor, with authority to appoint deputy or lieutenant gov- 
ernors in each colony. Under this power Sir Edmund Andros ap- 
pointed Francis Nicholson Governor of New York. This order of 
things continued until April, 1689, when news having reached 
America that James II had been driven from the throne by the 
English, and that William and Mary had been proclaimed rulers of 
England, the people of Massachusetts arose against Andros, seized 
him, and after a period of confinement sent him to England. This 
happened at Boston. At New York the people likewise arose, led 
by one Jacob Leisler, who seized the fort and had himself proclaimed 
Governor under the pretence of holding the government for William 
and Mary until their properly authorized representative appeared 
and took command. This Leisler was an adventurer, seeking more 
his own personal ends than those of his superiors. William Nicoll 
therefore opposed him, and because of this opposition, he with 
others who had the courage and honesty to take such a stand, were 
put in prison. They remained in confinement until the arrival of 
Gov. Sloughter, in March, 1691, when they were released. Leisler 
was brought to trial, and William Nicoll, whom he had imprisoned, 
was appointed one of the King's councillors to conduct the prosecu- 
tion. The result of the trial was a verdict of high treason, for which 
Leisler suffered death. Mr. Nicoll was subsequently appointed by 
Gov. Sloughter a member of the Governor's Council. Four years 
later, in 1695, he was sent to England by the Colonial Assembly on 
an important mission, for which service the Assembly allowed him 
$1,000. In 1698 he again suffered imprisonment for a short time at 
the hands of the Earl of Bellamont, who had been appointed Gov- 
ernor and who was of the same character as Leisler. In 1701 he 
was elected a member of the Colonial Assembly from this county, 
but not being a resident of the county he was not allowed to take 
his seat. He then moved into the county, taking up his residence 
at Islip, where he owned an immense tract of land of 9,000 acres. 
He was again elected to the Assembly in 1702, and continued a mem- 
ber of that body until his death in 1723. For the most of the time 
he was Speaker of the House, until failing health forced him to 
resign this high office in 1718. Altogether he served in the Assem- 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 35 

bly twenty-one years, and as Speaker for sixteen years. He was a 
mighty man; fearless, patriotic and able, enjoying in unbounded 
measure the confidence and esteem of the people. 

In early life he married the daughter of Jeremias and Maria Van 
Rensselaer, of New York. He left a number of children, one of 
whom became as distinguished as himself. In 1695 WilHam Nicoll 
bought of Giles Sylvester one-fourth of his estate, equal to one- 
fifth of the whole of Shelter Island. Upon the death of Giles Syl- 
vester in 1704, who died without issue, Mr. Nicoll inherited from 
Mr. Sylvester another fourth of his estate, which made him owner 
of two-fifths of Shelter Island. It was thus that the Nicoll's be- 
came proprietors of Sachem's Neck, which has remained in the 
family until this day. Mr. WilHam Nicoll was buried at Islip, and 
over his grave was placed a monumental tablet with this inscription : 
"Sacred to the memory of William Nicolls. Hospitality, charity 
and good will toward his fellow man, were the marked characters 
of his life; and a perfectly resigned submission to the will of his 
Creator distinguished the sincere Christian at the hour of death, 
which took place Nov. 20, 1723. Ae 64." 

Now, my friends, I have pursued the history of this island thus 
far, and the career of this William Nicoll with peculiar delight. 
And that because of the coincidences and connections that exist 
between my former charge at Newtown and my present charge here 
on Shelter Island. Both communities had their birth in the same 
year, namely, 1652, and both were settled by Englishmen of Puritan 
principles. Both experienced the vicissitudes of the period thus far 
covered of a Httle more than fifty years. But that which above all 
binds the two together is the following, which is particularly pleasing 
to me. The same year in which William Nicoll took his seat in 
the Assembly and became Speaker of the House, namely, 1702, Lord 
Cornbury was appointed Governor of the Colony of New York. 
This appointment he received as a reward from His Majesty King 
William for espousing his cause in the overthrow of King James 
II. Now this Lord Cornbury was a man most obnoxious to the 
people, according to several historians. "His sense of justice," says 
Thompson, "was as weak as his bigotry was uncontrollable. 
Nor was there a Governor of New York so universally detested or 
so deserving of abhorrence." When he became Governor, being an 
Episcopalian, he endeavored to force Episcopacy upon the people, 
confiscating their church property, annulling their ordinances and 



36 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

otherwise by bigotry, despotism, injustice and insatiable avarice op- 
pressed and aroused the people. Among- the congregations that 
suffered most was the Presbyterian Church at Newtown, my former 
beloved charge. 

He seized that church and took possession of it. At Jamaica he 
did a despicable thing in taking the parsonage of the Presbyterian 
minister, Mr, Hubbard, which Mr. Hubbard tendered him during an 
epidemic in the City of New York, Mr. Hubbard thereby putting 
himself to considerable trouble and inconvenience for the Governor's 
accommodation. In return for his kindness he, Cornbury, when 
leaving the place, delivered it into the hands of Episcopal parties, 
at the same time directing the sheriff to confiscate the parsonage 
land and church building. He then appointed Mr. Urquhart as 
rector of Jamaica, Newtown and Flushing, and at about the same 
time issued an order prohibiting other ministers from preaching 
within the bounds of his province without special license from him- 
self, an entirely illegal and unwarrantable usurpation of the rights of 
the people, since the Duke of York had publicly decreed the right 
to every town of selecting its own minister. In these and many 
other ways this tyrannical Governor made the years of his rule a time 
of great trial. And here I quote from a previous historical dis- 
course delivered at Newtown as follows: "Before this oppression 
Rev. Robert Breck had to flee. Others who followed him in preach- 
ing here (that is in Newtown) were put in prison. In 1707 Rev. 
John Hampton and the Rev. Francis Makemie, who were on their 
way to New England from the South, stopped at New York. Upon 
invitation of the people of Newtown these two Presbyterian clergy- 
men visited the place to preach to them. What happened to them 
can best be stated from the records known as the "Narrative of Im- 
prisonment," dated Jan. 23d, 1707. "The Rev. John Hampton, an 
itinerant minister, preached on Sunday, Jan. 20th, in the Presbyterian 
Church, Newtown, without having first procured a license from 
Gov. Cornbury, and also gave notice that Rev. Francis Makemie 
would officiate there on Wednesday. But Gov. Cornbury, antici- 
pating them, had them both arrested as soon as they reached New- 
town, by Thomas Carsdale, High Sheriff of Queens County, and 
Stephen Luff, Under Sheriff. They were kept as prisoners on 
parole at the houses of two of the neighbors that night. The next 
day they were led off in a sort of triumph to Jamaica, seven or eight 
miles out of the direct road, and there kept all day and night. On 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 37 

the 23d, at noon, they got to the Fort in New York. After vexa- 
tion and delays they were tried for dissenting doctrines to the great 
disturbance of the Church by law established. The jury, however, 
acquitted them, but the Governor took his spite against them in 
imposing a long bill of costs upon them, £83 7s 6d, over four hun- 
dred dollars, which they had to pay before they were released. Liv- 
ingston, writing shortly after this injustice, wrote: "If any want in- 
formation concerning suffering of other dissenters, both in persons, 
estates and reHgious liberties, I recommend them to the body of 
inhabitants of Jamaica and Newtown." 

And here let me say that it gives me unspeakable pleasure to 
be able to state to you that in the progress of preparing this his- 
torical review I have discovered who was by his able plea so largely 
instrumental in gaining the verdict of acquittal for Revs. Hampton 
and Makemie. That person was William Nicoll, to whom Giles 
Sylvester bequeathed such a large portion of Shelter Island. For 
this notable service I here publicly salute his descendants and invoke 
God's special blessing to rest upon them ; and in blessing them may 
God likewise bless you all. 



2 8 Slielter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 



CHAPTER III. 

The second section of our historical paper on Shelter Island 
and the Presbyterian Church closed with a courteous acknowledg- 
ment of the signal service which William Nicoll rendered, in es- 
pousing the cause of Revs. Makemie and Hampton against Lord 
Cornbury's persecution, and brought our review down to the year 
1704, the year in which the said William Nicoll came by inheritance 
into possession of Sachem's Neck. 

We now have cause to mention another family who about that 
time came upon this island, the members and descendants of which 
became very prominent in the life of this place, and of great service 
to our church. I refer to the Havens family. About 1698 Na- 
thaniel Sylvester the 2d sold 1,000 acres to Geo. Havens. After dis- 
posing of this land the said Nathaniel Sylvester, having married 
Miss Margaret Hobert, daughter of Isaiah Hobert, of East Hampton, 
moved with his family to Newport, R. I., where he engaged in 
business as a merchant. The 1,000 acres which Mr. Havens bought 
of Mr. Sylvester covered all the central portion of the island, in- 
cluding the ground now belonging to our church. Though most 
of this purchase has passed into other hands, eighty-five acres still 
remain in the Havens family, being owned at present by Henry P. 
Havens, who is of the seventh generation in continuous possession, 
a direct descendant of the first George Havens. This George 
Havens was the son of William Havens, a Welshman, who came to 
America about the year 1635 and settled on Conanticut Island, near 
Newport, R. I. Upon making the foregoing purchase, Mr. George 
Havens moved to this island with his family, which consisted of him- 
self, a wife and seven chidren, three sons and four daughters. Be- 
sides these children there was another son named George, who did 
not move with the family to Shelter Island, but continued to live in 
Rhode Island, as the following abstract of a deed indicates, namely: 
"For good and sufificient reasons I have and bear to my loving son, 
George Havens, of Kingstowne in ye Narrowgansett Country, have 

given to my said son George Havens for ever, 

if my said son George shall goe and live on said 

land hereinafter granted, that is too say two hundred and fifty acres 
of my farm on Shelter Island. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church ^g 

Dated Oct., in ye 13 year of his Majy's reigne, Anno Domini, 
1701. GEORGE HAVENS." 

It is presumed that this son did not improve this offer, as his 
will is dated from Fisher's Island, Oct. 31, 1726. Mr. George 
Havens, Sr., continued to reside here until his death, in 1706. 

While visiting the ancient burying ground of New London, 
Conn., this past summer, in search of certain epitaphs, I accidentally 
came upon the grave and tombstone of Mr. George Havens, the first 
Havens of Shelter Island. I had searched and inquired for it in all 
directions, but without success. One can therefore imagine the 
surprise and pleasure that was mine when the above discovery was 
made. The grave can be easily found by those interested, as it is 
marked by a small brown stone headstone, with the following in- 
scription upon it: "George Havens, who deceased Feb. 25, 1706, ae 
53y'rs." 

His wife survived him and married again a Mr. Thomas Terry, 
of Southold. She lived to the great age of 93, passing away in 1747, 
and was buried in the south church yard, where a suitable stone 
with clear inscription stands to her memory. 

And thus the community continued to grow, both from natural 
increase and accretion, until in 1730, there were twenty men, 
most of them heads of famihes, residing on this island. Their names 
were as follows: William Nicoll, John Havens, Samuel Hudson, 
George Havens, Elisha Payne, Joel Bowditch, Abraham Parker, Ed- 
ward Havens, Samuel Vail, Thomas Conkling, Edward Oilman, 
Brinley Sylvester, Jonathan Havens, Joseph Havens, Noah Tuthill, 
Sylvester L'Hommedieu, Henry Havens, Samuel Hopkins, John 
Bowditch, Daniel Brown. 

These men organized Shelter Island into a municipality of its 
own, and are therefore the Founders of the Town of Shelter Island. 
Up to this date, 1730, our Island met with Southold in its Annual 
Town Meetings. J. Wickham Case, compiler of the Southold Town 
Records, says that in its earliest stages Shelter Island associated itself 
with Southold, so far as to recognize their books as the proper place 
for the record of deeds and valuable papers, and to meet (but not to 
vote) with them at their Annual Town Meeting. Shelter Island, 
however, as we have already seen, was placed on the same footing "as 
any other town, unfranchised place or manor within this govern- 
ment," as early as May, 1666, by Governor Nicoll. In 1683, when 
the Province and its dependencies was divided off into Shires and 



AO Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Counties in response to an act bearing- the date of 2d Nov., 1683, 
Shelter Island was again officially set off as a Township of Suffolk 
County. Still it was not fully organized into a town by the selec- 
tion of town officers; perhaps because there were so few male in- 
habitants of full age living at that time on our Island. But in 1730 
it was commanded by an act of the General Assembly of the Province 
of New York, dated 12th of July, 1729, to choose its first public offi- 
cials. This act was entitled as follows: "To ascertain the allowance 
to the Representatives for the county of Suffolk and for other pur- 
poses therein mentioned." In the fourth clause of which we read: 
"And be it further enacted by the same authority that from and after 
the Publication of this act, it shall and may be lawful for the In- 
habitants of Shelter Island, in the County of Suffolk, and they are 
hereby impowered and required, annually on the first Tuesday in the 
month of April, to elect and chuse among them two Asessors and a 
Collector, to assess and collect such Taxes as shall be now or here- 
after laid or imposed on them, and a Constable and Supervisor for 
keeping the Peace and auditing their Public Accounts at the Time 
the County of Suffolk shall do, by virtue of this Act." 

In response to that commandatory act of the Colonial Assem- 
bly, it met the following year for the first time in a Town meeting 
of its own, as the following record, the first that appears upon our 
Town records, will show: "Suffolk County, Precinct of Shelter 
Island, 7th April, 1730. At a meeting held at the said place and 
time, the inhabitants of this said precinct proceeded and chose ac- 
cording to an act of the Gen'l Assembly made in the Province of 
New York in the third year of the Reign of King George the Second 
over Great Britain, &c., as followeth, viz.: 

William Nicoll, Supervisor. 

John Havens, 



a 



o Tj r Assessors. 

Samuel Hudson, 

Edward Havens, Collector. 
Edward Oilman, Constable." 

I have deemed it important to fix if possible the antecedents of 
these twenty men, who were the founders of our town, and have de- 
voted a great deal of labor to this matter, with the following results. 
We will begin with: 

I. WILLIAM NICOLL, who was chosen to be the first Super- 
visor of the Town. He was the second son of William Nicoll, and 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 41 

is known as William Nicoll the second, also in history as Speaker 
Nicoll. He was born in 1702, and graduated with his brother, Ben- 
jamin, from Yale College in 1724. Like his father, he was edu- 
cated for the bar, and became an eminent lawyer, continuing his legal 
practice after taking up his residence on Sachem's Neck, somewhere 
about 1726. His father died in 1723 and bequeathed him all of his 
estate located on this island. He then removed to this island, where 
he became the representative or foremost man of the Town, serving 
as Supervisor for ten years. In 1739 he was elected to the Colonial 
Assembly, like his father before him, and continued to serve until his 
death, in 1768, a period of twenty-nine years, during the last nine of 
which he served as Speaker of the House. Thus our first Super- 
visor was a very distinguished man, an eminent statesman, reflecting 
no small honor upon Shelter Island, which continued to be his home 
until his death, which came to him suddenly at a house on the 
Hempstead Plains Dec. 3d, 1768, as he was returning from his pubhc 
duties. Thompson says: "He was a man of sound and discrimi- 
nating mind, bold and fearless as a politician, and an unwavering 
asserter of the rights and liberties of the colony. In all public acts 
as a legislator he was diligent and attentive to every duty devolving 
upon him." And Wood says in his history "that he resembled his 
father in his political sentiments, and was a decided friend of the 
rights of the colonies. He is supposed to have concurred in the 
addresses to the King, lords and commons, respectively, which were 
adopted by the Assembly in 1764 and 1765, and which he signed as 
their Speaker. These addresses abound with patriotic sentiments. 
In that of 1764 they say that Tt would be the basest vassalage to 
be taxed at the pleasure of a fellow subject." In that of 1765 they 
say that "An assumption of power by the British Parliament to tax 
the colonies, if asquiesced in or admitted, would make them mere 
tenants at will of his majesty's subjects in Britain." 

This William Nicoll, dying without issue, left his estate on this 
island to a son of his brother Benjamin, also named WilHam Nicoll, 
commonly called "Clerk Nicoll," because he served as County Clerk 
for twenty-six years, being the last Clerk of the County under the 
Colonial Government. He not only succeeded his uncle in the pos- 
session of the Nicoll estate on Shelter Island, but was also chosen to 
succeed him in the Assembly, and continued to serve in that body 
until it was dissolved in consequence of the Revolution. This is in- 
deed a remarkable thing, that three William Nicolls should succeed 



42 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

each other, not only as the owners of that estate, but as representa- 
tives in the Assembly, the first William Nicoll serving- twenty-one 
years, and as Speaker for sixteen years of the time; the second 
William Nicoll for twenty-nine years, and as Speaker for nine years 
of the time, and the third William Nicoll for nine years, or until the 
Colonial Assembly was dissolved. Truly Shelter Island can refer 
with pride to her first Supervisor. 

2. JOHN HAVENS, one of the first two assessors of our Town, 
was the fourth son of George Havens and Eleanor Thurston, and 
married a lady whose given name was Sarah. He was elected Town 
Assessor in 1730, 1734, 1739 and 1744, and Overseer of the Poor in 
I735> 1737 and 1743. In 1744 he moved to the Town of Brookhaven 
with his family, where he became an extensive land-owner and the 
progenitor of a large family. He died in 1750. 

3. SAMUEL HUDSON, the second of the first two Assessors 
of our Town, was the son of Jonathan and Sarah Hudson. His 
parents came from Lyme, Conn., to Shelter Island. Samuel Hud- 
son married Grissel L'Hommedieu, daughter of Benjamin and Pa- 
tience L'Hommedieu, and granddaughter of the original settler of 
this island, Mr. Nathaniel Sylvester. Mr. Hudson served as County 
Clerk of Suffolk County from 1722 to 1730, and in 1746, with his 
brother Jonathan, joined Capt. James Fanning's company of volun- 
teers and served in the expedition against Canada. He died Oct. 
I2th, 1781. 

4. EDWARD HAVENS was the son of George and Mary 
Havens, of Fisher's Island. His father was the eldest son of the 
George Havens who purchased the 1,000 acres of Nathaniel Syl- 
vester. Very httle is known of this Edward Havens, save that he 
married Desire Terry in 1724. He was the first Collector of the 
Town. His name appears but once on the Town records, namely, 
in 1730. 

5. EDWARD GILMAN. Of this person we know the least of 
all the twenty. Though we have searched in every direction, nothing 
has been found concerning him. The name "Gilman" does not ap- 
pear in this region on any record save our own. The will of Joseph 
Moore, of Southampton, dated March 21, 1723, speaks of a daughter- 
in-law, "Sarah Oilman." 

6. GEORGE HAVENS was the son of George and Mary 
Havens, of Fisher's Island, and brother to Edward Havens. He 
married Mary and had a son named George, to whom. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 43 

with his mother, letters of administration were granted in 1734, the 
father and husband having- died the previous year. 

7. ELISHA PAYNE was the son of CorneHus and Constant 
(Havens) Payne. His father in 1698 bought 200 acres of land on 
this island from Giles Sylvester. At that time he lived on Gardiner's 
Island, as a husbandman. Upon becoming a landowner here he 
moved to this island, for in a bond of Giles Sylvester, dated 27th 
June, 1699, he is spoken of as a "yeoman of Shelter Island." Elisha 
Payne served the Town as Constable and Collector in 1740 and 1748 
respectively. In 1748 he married Deliverance Tuthill, and died in 
1761, leaving a widow and several children. (See census list of 
1771.) 

8. SYLVESTER L'HOMMEDIEU was the son of Benjamin 
and Patience L'Hommedieu, of Southold. He married Elizabeth 
More, and was the father of Samuel L'Hommedieu, a distinguished 
citizen of Sag Harbor, at one time a member of the Assembly. 
Sylvester L'Hommedieu served as Collector and Constable in 1732. 
He died March 9, 1788, and lies buried in the church yard at 
Southold, L. I. 

9. HENRY HAVENS was the oldest son of John and Sarah 
Havens. My information is derived from the will of John Havens, 
of Brookhaven, in which he bequeathed to his oldest son Henry 370 
acres of land on Shelter Island. The date of the will is 1749. This 
Henry Havens married Abigail Tuthill, sister of Noah Tuthill, one 
of the Town fathers. His father, John Havens, as has been already 
mentioned, moved to Brookhaven about the year 1745. Henry 
Havens was a town officer for over ten years. 

10. THOMAS CONKLING was the son of John and Sarah 
(Horton) Conkling, of Southold, L. I., a descendant of one of the first 
settlers of that ancient town. In 1732 he married Rachel Moore, by 
whom he had five children. His youngest son, Benjamin, was the 
gentleman who at his death in 1826 bequeathed a large sum of 
money to our church. Thomas Conkling served the Town in the 
various positions as Assessor, Constable and Overseer of the Poor, 
from 1739 to 1 76 1, He died in 1782 at the ripe age of eighty-seven. 

11. JONATHAN HAVENS was the second son of George and 
Eleanor (Thurston) Havens, born at Jamestown, R. I., Feb. 22, 
1681. Upon attaining his majority his father gave. him 200 acres 
of his property on this island. In 1707 he married Hannah Brown, 
daughter of Jonathan and Ehza Sylvester Brown, and grand- 



44 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

daughter of the fist Nathaniel Sylvester, by whom he had ten chil- 
dren. He was an Assessor of the Town for twelve years, Overseer 
of the Poor two years, and Supervisor one year. Mr. Havens died 
Aug. 5th, 1748, in the sixty-eighth year of his age, and lies buried in 
the south church-yard. 

12. JOSEPH HAVENS was the son of Jonathan Havens and 
Hannah Brown. According to his tombstone in the south church- 
yard he was born in 1714. He was twice married. His first wife 
was Madam Mary Watts, a lady of refinement. She died in 1768, 
In 1769 he married Jemima Glover, by whom he had one son. 
Father, mother and son all passed away in a few years. Mr. Havens 
was Constable and Collector of the Town in 1737. He afterwards 
moved into the town of Southampton, from whence his will is dated. 

13. NOAH TUTHILL was the third son of Deacon Daniel 
and Mehetable (Horton) Tuthill, born in Orient, L. I. The Tut- 
hills and the Hortons were among the first settlers of Southold, 
and their descendants are legion. Noah Tuthill married a relation 
by the name of Hannah Tuthill. Many of his descendants live 
among us to-day. He was a Town officer for several years. He 
died in 1766, and is supposed to have been buried in the family 
burying ground upon the Tuthill homestead in Orient. 

14. JOEL BOWDITCH. Who he was the son of or whence 
he came we cannot positively tell. But it is presumed that he came 
to Shelter Island from the region of Sag Harbor. A Joel Bow- 
ditch is mentioned by Judge Hedges in his "History of East Hamp- 
ton" as a resident of that Town from 1704 to 1718. In 1718 an 
Abigail Bowditch married Nathan Fordham, of Sag Harbor. She 
had a grandchild named "Joel." Joel Bowditch, the subject of this 

sketch, married Ruth and had several children. He was 

the progenitor of the Bowditch's who live among us, and served as 
Town officer for many years, or until his death, in 1746. 

15. JOHN BOWDITCH. What is said about Joel Bowditch 
applies equally as well to this man, as far as his parentage is con- 
cerned. It is presumed that he was the son of Joel Bowditch. We 
cannot tell whether he ever xnarried; it is rather doubtful that he 
ever did. His name appears but once among the Town officers, 
under date of 1738, when he was chosen Constable and Collector. 

16. SAMUEL HOPKINS was the son of William and Rebecca 
Hopkins, of this place, a direct, and close descendant of Stephen 
Hopkms -and-Giks~-Hepkins^two of the immortal Mayflower -pii=~- 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church ac 

grims, being- the great-grandson of the former and grandson 
of the latter. According to the inscription upon his tomb- 
stone at Miller's Place, Samuel Hopkins was born on Shelter Island 
about 1710. His father moved to Shelter Island about 1680, and 
in time became a man of considerable property. In an account 
book of WilHam Hopkins, the following names appear between the 
dates of 1680 and 1710: Gideon Youngs 1681, Samuel King 1682, 
John Conklin 1682, Thomas Young 1685, John Tuthill 1685, Caleb 
Curtis 1688, John Marlin, Feb. 19, 1689, Thomas Torrey 1691, John 
Carter 1695, Samuel Glover 1696, James Rogers 1700, Edward Bon- 
net 1 701, Jonathan Hains 1703, Cornelius Pain 1705, Indian Able, 
Indian Squaw, John Hobson, Jonathan Brown, Jacob Conklin, 
Jonathan Hudson, Lion Gardner, Henry Tuthill, Richard Brown, 
Rebecca Crook, William King, Walter Brown, Martha Collins, John 
Knowling, Thomas Russell, Mr. Emmons, Mary Young (widow). 
Samuel Hopkins was a carpenter and mason. From 1743 until 
1756 he lived at Wading River. In 1757 he bought property at 
Millers Place and moved there, and made it his home until his death, 
in 1790. In 1733 he served this Town as Constable and Collector. 

17. ABRAHAM PARKER. We cannot tell definitely who 
were the parents of Abraham Parker. He is said to have been 
born in Yorkshire, England. Several Parkers lived on this island 
prior to the organization of the Town. As early as 1698 a Nathaniel 
Parker appears as a witness on the deed of Giles Sylvester to Cor- 
nelius Payne. In 1701 a Daniel Parke appeared in the same ca- 
pacity on the deed of George Havens to Jonathan his son. Abra- 
ham Parker married probably twice. His first wife was Sarah Hud- 
son, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah Hudson. His second wife 
was Mary Hudson, the widow of Jonathan Hudson, who was brother 
to his first wife. He served as Collector and Constable in 1731, as 
Assessor in 1736, and as Overseer of the Poor in 1738 and 1742. He 
died in March, 1768. 

18. DANIEL BROWN was the son of Daniel and Frances 
(Watson) Brown, born Nov. 15, 1710. His great-grandparents, 
Chad and Elizabeth Brown, came from England in the ship "Mar- 
tin," which arrived at Boston in July, 1638. The same year they 
moved to Providence, R. I., where Chad Browne was one of the 
original proprietors of the Providence purchase. In 1642 he was 
ordained the first settled pastor of the Baptist church. The children 
of Chad and Elizabeth Brown were sons John, James, Jeremiah, 



46 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Judah or Chad, and Daniel. Their daughters were Mary, Deborah 
and Phebe. Jeremiah, the third son, was twice married, his second 
wife being Mary (Havens) Cook, widow of Thomas Cook and 
daughter of the first WilHam Havens. His son Daniel, who married 
Frances Watson, was the father of the subject of this sketch. Like 
his grandfather, Jeremiah Browne, our Daniel Brown married twice, 
his second wife likewise being named Mary Havens, whom he mar- 
ried Dec. 21, 1735, and by whom he had a large family. He was 
Supervisor of this Town for twenty years. In 1747 he enlisted in 
the First Battalion (foot) under Capt. James Fanning, to go against 
Canada. In 1775 and 'yS, at the outbreak of the American Revo- 
lution, he was a member of the First, Second and Third Provincial 
Congresses. These and other items show him to have been a man of 
great importance in the community; one highly esteemed and 
greatly trusted by his fellow men. 

19. SAMUEL VAIL was the son of John and Grace Vail, ac- 
cording to Moore's Index. His grandfather was also named John 
Vail, and was the first person by the name in this country, coming 
from Wales. In 1723 Samuel Vail married Hannah Petty. He was 
also in time a Town officer, serving as Constable and Collector in 
1735 and as Overseer of the Poor in 1741. About this date he 
moved with his family to Orange County and settled in what is 
called the West Division of Goshen. Many of his descendants are 
living in that region at the present time. No genealogical record 
of the descendants of Samuel Vail has been attempted by the writer 
of this book, as a genealogy of the "Vail" family is in existence, 
gathered together by the late Mr. Alfred Vail. It is deposited in 
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Library, and can 
there be consulted by those interested. 

20. BRINLEY SYLVESTER was the son of the second Na- 
thaniel Sylvester and Margaret Hobert, of Easthampton, L. I., 
where he was born Nov. 28th, 1694. He married Mary Burroughs, 
daughter of Thomas Burroughs, of New York, at Southold, Dec. 
2d, 1718, the Rev. Geo. Phillips officiating. He lived for awhile 
at Newport, R. I., whither his father had moved, upon disposing 
of 1,000 acres to George Havens, and engaged in business as a 
merchant. This left the father with comparatively little land on 
this island. His possessions, however, were vastly increased upon 
the death of his brother Giles, in 1704, who bequeathed to him of 
his estate an amount of land equal in extent to two-fifths of the 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 47 

island. This, together with what he had retained, made him owner 
of about one-half of Shelter Island. Upon the death of his father, 
Brinley Sylvester, having inherited the large family estate on this 
island, moved from Rhode Island to this place, where he re- 
sided till his death in 1752. Upon coming to this island Brinley 
Sylvester set about improving the property. The original manor 
house he displaced by a more imposing mansion, built in 
1733. It is said that when he was building this new house, 
which was the largest structure of its kind in the three 
counties of Long Island, it occasioned much talk among his 
puritan friends, and the raising of it was made a great affair for 
those days, Mrs. Brinley Sylvester coming from the west end of 
Long Island to see it. Much of the interior work, such as the cor- 
nices, panels, wainscoting, and the like, was executed in England, 
while that which was serviceable of the prior homestead, such as 
the doors, sashes, tiles, etc., were worked into the new building. 
That house is, as you know, still standing and well preserved, though 
now over a hundred and sixty years old, and in some of its parts 
spans the whole period of the settlement of this island, that is, two 
hundred and forty-five years. In it Brinley Sylvester lived like a 
lord, far exceeding all his predecessors in the grandeur of his living. 
He presided over his rich and extensive estate with great dignity, 
being a gentleman of polished manners, scholarly in his tastes and 
generous to a fault. For more than twenty years he held public 
office in this town, sometimes discharging the duties of several 
offices together. During this time he was also one of the Associate 
Justices of the Court of General Sessions. He likewise acted as 
Surrogate of the County, the will of John Gardiner, the third pro- 
prietor of Gardiner's Island, being admitted to probate before him 
on the 1st of August, 1738. As yet there being no church on the 
island, he with his family attended divine service at Southold, going 
all the way by water in a handsome barge rowed by four well matched 
negroes. Mrs. Sylvester, his wife, used to wear on such occasions 
a silk velvet mantle inwrought with gold, and sometimes the ven- 
erable clergyman, Mr. Youngs, would say, "I am afraid you are 
proud of your fine barge and rich dress, Mrs. Sylvester." "Oh, no, 
sir," she answered. "If there is anything I am proud of it is the 
fine linen I make." Mr. Brinley Sylvester kept a chaplain in his 
family in the person of the Rev. William Adams. His family con- 
sisted of himself, his wife and two daughters, named Mary and 



48 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Margaret. Mr. Sylvester was a man of ardent piety, a communicant 
of the church at Southold. He did much for reHgion on this island, 
as will be seen later on, and at his death left £100 sterling for the 
maintenance of religion on this island, the interest of which was to 
be expended in the support of a regular orthodox Presbyterian min- 
ister. His funeral was conducted by the Rev. William Throop, 
pastor of the Southold church, the sermori then delivered being 
afterwards printed in Boston. His body was at first buried in the 
Sylvester burying ground, and afterwards moved to the private 
cemetery in the rear of this church, where an appropriate monument 
is erected to his memory. In the death of this distinguished Chris- 
tian gentleman the name of Sylvester became extinct on this island. 

To recapitulate what I have now written of the founders of the 
Town. It will be seen that six of the twenty men bore the name of 
Havens. These, as one would suppose, were related to each other. 
Two of them were sons and the rest grandsons of George and 
Eleanor Havens. They were all born in America, and two of them 
on this island. To these six men several of the remainder of our- 
Town fathers were also related through marriage, namely, Noah 
Tuthill-, Elisha Payne, William Nicoll and Daniel Brown. Of the ^ 
rest Abraham Parker, Samuel Hudson, Sylvester L'Hommedieu 
and Brinley Sylvester were related to each other, the last three 
being grandsons of our first settler, Nathaniel Sylvester. Then too 
it is thought that Joel and John Bowditch were father and son, while 
of the remainder Samuel Hopkins bore the proud distinction of being 
a direct and close descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrims. The an- 
cestors of these men who were our Town fathers were English, 
Welsh, and in one instance French. All, except in one instance, as 
far as is known were born in this country, and a number of them 
on this island. They were sturdy men, men of intelligence, and not 
a few of them, men of renown. They were lovers of liberty, of 
virtue, of piety, ready to respond to their country's call, full of en- 
terprise, industry and zeal; men who in every respect were worthy 
to be the founders of our Town. We do well to cherish their 
memory and imitate their virtues. 

Thus far our history has been solely occupied with the settlement 
of this place and its development into a Town, a period covering 
eighty years or more. Now we come to the time when there first 
appeared something like a religious society on this island, and then 
only in the outward or material form of a meeting house or church 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 



49 



building. The absence of such a place of worship for these many 
years was not because the inhabitants lacked religious life and con- 
victions, for, as Dr. Woolworth said in his dedicatory sermon, 
"From the beginning of the settlement of this island there were not 
wanting such individuals among its inhabitants as feared God, pro- 
fessed His name and manifested a commendable concern and zeal 
for His sacred cause. The population was, however, for a long time 
so inconsiderable that no exertions were made for the introduction 
of regular public worship among themselves. Those who were 
seriously disposed attended the churches in the vicinity of the island. 
This was the state of things until the early part of the last century, 
when a decent house of public worship was erected." And thus it 
was that the building of a sanctuary was so long delayed. Now, how- 
ever, steps were taken towards the erection of a house of God, a 
place of worship. This was in 1732, as the following copy of a sub- 
scription paper will show: 

"We whos names are hereunto subscribed haveing the Interests 
of Our Common Lord at heart and being willing to Contribute 
for the promoting and Incouraging the Cause and Interest of 
Religion upon Shelter Island, and Considering ye Small num- 
ber of the Inhabitants do Covenant and promise to pay or Cause 
to be paid the Several Sums Affixed to our names to Brinley

How soon the purpose was accomplished it is hard to tell, 
since different dates by different writers have been given. Thomp- 
son, in the first edition of his "History of Long Island," says: "The 
first church was erected by the Presbyterians in 1733, the funds for 
defraying the expenses of which were collected upon the island and 
the adjacent towns." In his second edition, however, published some 
four years later than the first, greatly enlarged and far more cor- 
rect, he changes the foregoing statement and makes it read thus: 
"The first meeting house was completed in 1743, and remained until 
1816, when the present church was erected on the same site." He 
precedes this statement with another, which goes to show that the 
latter date is the correct one. That foregoing statement is to the 
effect that in 1742 Jonathan Havens, Jr., gave a half acre of ground 
near the middle of the island for the setting of a meeting house and 
for a burying ground, and the next year, in 1743, he associated with 
others in erecting a building for religious worship, and to accom- 
plish their benevolent design contributions were solicited in the 
neighboring towns, and even in the cities of New York and Boston. 
Dr. Prime, who wrote an ecclesiastical history of Long Island, and 
which appeared two years later than Dr. Thompson's second edi- 
tion, the purpose of which, as its title would imply, brought him 
into closer touch with church history here and elsewhere, for which 
reason we may believe it the more reliable in ecclesiastical matters, 
confirms in general the second date of Thompson. He says: "It is 
difficult to ascertain the exact date of the erection of the first house 
of worship, but it is supposed to have been somewhere near the 
middle of the last century." He further adds that it was built under 
the supervision of Brinley Sylvester, who was the principal pro- 
prietor of the island. All this goes to confirm the latter date of 
1743 as the correct one, being nearer to the middle of the last cen- 
tury than 1733, and further, being the year following the one in 
which the donor of the land, Jonathan Havens, Jr., set apart his 
gift for the purpose of "setting a meeting house and for a burying 
ground. And since this is the date, I am inclined to believe that 
the effort set on foot in 1732 was accomphshed in 1743. Perhaps 
the completion of the purpose was hastened toward the end by the 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 51 

great revival which spread over the eastern end of Long Island 
during the decade of 1740, for it is well known that a great religious 
awakening makes a community sensible of its religious needs, which 
most generally finds its expression in the erection of a sanctuary or 
in the renovation of the same. 

Regarding that original meeting house of Shelter Island, built 
over one hundred and fifty years ago, there are still those living in 
our midst who remember it with affection. Its shape was quad- 
rangle, with a quadrangle roof, by which is meant that its dimensions 
were the same on all four sides, and that its roof slanted upward 
and inward from all four sides, meeting in the center, the whole 
perhaps surmounted by a cupola. It has been described as "a 
small square building with four roofs meeting at a point." Some 
of its furnishings, such as the pulpit, sounding board, stairs and a 
few of its pews were brought from the Rutgers street church in New 
York. The building, according to Rev, Mr. Lord, was mainly 
owned by the proprietors of the island, who held the sole and ex- 
clusive right of the pews. It stood on this very spot where we now 
worship until the beginning of this present structure, when it was 
moved to the eastward, where the parsonage now stands, being 
there used while the new house of worship was being erected, after 
which it was again moved to the westward, near the middle of the lot 
opposite the grist mill, where it served the purpose of a sheepfold 
until time and decay had completed its destruction. Rev. Mr. Lord, 
in his historical sermon of 1856, speaks of it thus: "The place where 
it stood and its whole aspect rises up before me in vivid recollection. 
It was a house every way worthy of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, 
always abating its dimensions. It was old and of narrow accom- 
modations. A quadrate building with a quadrate roof. It was at 
the time of its erection probably equal to the wants of the people, 
but at the time of which I am speaking the tooth of time had made 
such inroads upon it that it gave unmistakable evidence of decay. It 
had one semblance at least to the sanctuary of which the Psalmist 
speaks: Tn it the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a 
nest for herself, where she may lay her young.' Among the first 
ministers to officiate in the building was the Rev. WilHam Adams, 
who occupied the position of chaplain to Mr. Brinley Sylvester and 
his family, having his home in the Manor House. Mr. Adams, at 
the time of his coming to this island, was a young man of twenty- 
seven years of age, the son of the Rev. Eliphalet Adams, of Con- 



52 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

necticut, and a graduate of Yale in 1730. Upon graduation — I 
quote from the Annals of the American Pulpit — he became a tutor 
for two years, after which a preacher of more than sixty years. He 
was never married nor ordained, as he declared he would not be 
"encumbered either with a wife or a parish." He first preached in 
the North Parish of New London, now known as Montville, and later 
in North Groton, now called Ledyard, after the withdrawal of the 
Rev. Ebenezer Punderson. In 1735 he declined a unanimous call 
from the latter parish. In January, 1737, he began to preach in 
Guilford, and continued there until he came to this island, presuma- 
bly in the latter part of that year, and here he continued until Mr. 
Brinley Sylvester's death in 1752. The next year, in October of 
1753, his father died. He was then invited to supply the vacant 
pulpit of New London, which he did until February, 1756. . In 1758 
he began to preach at Orient, and continued there until 1760. In 
that year Mr. Thomas Dering, having moved with his family upon 
the estate of his wife, Mrs. Mary Sylvester Dering, he resumed his 
residence in the manor house as private chaplain, and continued in 
this relation until the breaking out of the Revolution, when Mr. 
Dering had to take refuge with his family within the American lines. 
Altogether he is said to have labored here for more than thirty 
years. He was here when the great evangehst Whitefield visited 
the island in 1764. His latter years were spent in New London, 
chiefly in social enjoyment and domestic repose. He frequently 
rambled into the country on visits to the farmers belonging to the 
parish, and always made it a point on such occasions to communicate 
more or less religious instruction. He was short and stout, wore a 
white wig and a cocked hat, and usually walked about the streets 
dressed in a black study gown. He was a respectable preacher, but 
in nowise eminent. He has left one sermon in printed form, 
preached on the day of Thanksgiving for the success of the British 
arms in the reduction of Montreal and the Conquest of Canada in 
1760. He died September 25th, 1798, in the 88th year of his age. 

While occupying the position of chaplain to the Sylvesters, Rev. 
Mr. Adams likewise fulfilled the duties of preacher and pastor to 
the community. This is established by the following paper, which is 
in substance a call to Mr. Adams extended by the citizens of this 
place to become their pastor: 

"We the Inhabitance of Shelter Island in Sufifolk County, In the 
Province of New York, by the providence of God being In-

capable of a Constant attendance upon ye Publick worship of 
God in any of the neighboring Towns, and being sensable that 
it is our Incumbent duty to do to the utmost of our power to

fore out of a sense of duty and for the Incouragement of a min- 
ister to preach tlie Gospel amongst us do promise and Ingage 
every person for himselve to pay or cause to be paid the several 
sums of New York money affixed to our respective names here 
under written to Mr. William Adams to preach the Gospel on 
Shelter Island as in such case is customary and that for the 
space of one year, in witness whereof we have set our hand this 
first Day of April Anno Dom,, 1746: 



For one Year.

This paper, drawn up evidently by the same hand that drew up 
the subscription paper of 1732, is in the handwriting of Mr. Brinley 
Sylvester, so that both papers can be said to have had Mr. Sylvester 
as their author. This call to the Rev. William Adams for his pas- 
toral services bears the date of the first day of April, Anno Dom. 
1746." The following April the Presbytery of Long Island met by 
commission in this place, as the following extract of the Presbytery's 
minutes will show: 

"Shelter Island, April 21, 1747. Met according to the order 
and appointment of Presbytery in the preceding session, Messrs. 
Nathaniel Mather, Silvanus White and Samuel Buell, to communi- 
cate to each other the Sentiments and Dispositions of their par- 
ticular Churches relative to Presbyterian Government as exhibited 

in the Plan of our Covenanted Union Upon representation 

then made it appeared hopefull that most of the Churches on the 
east end of Long Island would comply with and submit to Presby- 
terian Government." 

On June 11, 1766, the Presbytery of Long Island held a most 
important meeting on this island. It was for the express purpose 
of ordaining a young man to the ministry of our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ. This is such an important event in the life of this 



54 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

people that I embody entirely so much of Presbytery's minutes 
as apply to it, and which is as follows 

"A'let according to adjournment at Shelter Island, June nth, 
1766. Present, Messrs. Prime, Buell, Lewis, Barker, Brown, Tall- 
madge, Goldsmith, Paine and Rosse. Absent, Messrs. Mills, Reeve 
and Occam. Correspondents were the Rev. Messrs. Charles Jeffry, 
Smith and Abner Brush. Elder, James Reeve. Mr. Tallmadge 
moderator and Mr. Rosse chosen clerk, 

"P. P. S. Q. S. Ordered that the minutes of the last Sederunt 
be read, Mr. Elam Potter exhibited to the Presbytery Three sev- 
eral sermons, composed from Texts of Scripture before given. And 
the Presbytery proceeded to further examination. Adjourned to 
to-morrow morning 8 o'clock. 

"P. P. S. Q. S. Ordered the minutes of the last Sederunt be 
read. Referred the examination of Mr. Potter, and proceeded so 
far as to obtain satisfaction. Appointed his ordination at one 
o'clock, P, M. Attended in the following order — Mr. Lewis intro- 
duced the solemnity by prayer, Mr. Buell preached from James v: 20, 
Mr, Brown took the engagements of the Candidate and his pro- 
fession of Faith as exhibited in our public standards of Orthodoxy; 
Mr. Smith prayed at the laying on of Hands, Mr. Tallmadge gave 
the right hand of Fellowship, and Mr. Prime the charge. Mr. Pot- 
ter pointed out the Psalm and pronounced the blessing." 

And thus on this island was one ordained to the gospel ministry. 
It must have been a memorable occasion, one that is worthy of a 
permanent place in the history of this island and church. 

So far as I know this has been the only instance of ordination on 
our island. May it, however, not stand alone very long, but be 
followed by many others of the sons of this church, several of whom 
are now preaching the blessed gospel of the Son of God. In many 
respects the Rev. Elam Potter proved himself a workman skilled in 
his high office. The year after his ordination he went on an ex- 
tended missionary tour southward, and on his return he became 
pastor of the Congregational Church in Enfield, Conn., from 1769 
to April, 1776. In November, 1792, he was settled over the Pres- 
byterian Church at Southold, where he remained until his death, 
in 1794. His remains were buried in the church-yard of that place, 
and over his grave was raised a brownstone slab bearing the follow- 
ing epitaph: 

"Beneath this dust lie the remains of the Rev. Elam Potter, 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church cc 

a faithful good minister of Jesus Christ. He died Jany 5th, age 52, 
in the year 1794: 

Forbear to weep my loving friends, 

Death is the voice, Jehovah sends 
To call us to our home. 

Through these dark shades from pain redrest 

Is the right path to endless rest 
Where joys immortal bloom." 
Mr. Potter was the son of Daniel Potter, and was born in East 
Haven, Conn., Jan. ist, 1741-42. He graduated from Yale College 
in 1765. In a printed sermon of his, bearing date of Enfield, Sept. 
12, 1777, there appears this closing note, in the form of an address: 
"To the whole land. My Countrymen and Brethren, I beseech you 
for the Lord's sake, put away the Negro Slavery; abhor all jesting 
with God's holy Word; submit to the glorious Immanuel, and let 
us honor Him, that we may be happy in His favour." May all who 
read these gracious words heed them so far as they apply to present 
conditions. 

In the biographical sketch of the Rev. William Adams mention 
was made of Mr. Thomas Dering moving with his family to Shelter 
Island for the purpose of settling upon the estate which his wife 
had inherited from her father, Mr. Brinley Sylvester. In the coming 
of this Mr. Dering to this place there came a gentleman who proved 
himself indeed a worthy successor of the Sylvesters. 

Through the kindness of Mrs. Mary S. D. Lawrence, a great- 
grand-daughter of Mr. Thomas Dering, I am able to give the follow- 
ing biographical sketch of his life: 

"Mr. Thomas Dering was the son of Henry and Elizabeth Dering. 
He was born at Boston, Mass., May i6th, 1720, also the birthplace 
of his father, who was a merchant in that city. Thomas Dering 
was educated for a merchant, and upon the death of his father, which 
occurred in 1750, he, with his only brother, Henry, became the suc- 
cessor of his father until he removed to this island. On March 9th, 
1756, he married Mary Sylvester at Newport, R. I., whither Mr. 
Brinley Sylvester had moved temporarily, for the education of his 
daughters. They were married by the Rev. Ezra Styles, afterwards 
President of Yale College. In the year 1760, and after the birth of 
three children, Mr. Dering moved with his family to this place, occu- 
pying the Sylvester mansion and grounds, which his wife had in- 
herited upon the death of her father. He now began the life of a 



c6 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

farmer, becoming successfully engaged in the pursuit of the various 
branches of agriculture. He was a man who loved the society of 
refined and religious people, one who counted it a privilege to enter- 
tain them. In return he enjoyed in an eminent degree the respect 
and esteem of a large circle of friends; especially was he favored 
with the friendship and correspondence of distinguished clergymen, 
as appears from letters still in the possession of his descendants. 
Among these were the following: Rev. George Whitefield, under 
whose preaching in Boston it is supposed he was first awakened to 
a saving knowledge of the truth; Rev. Charles Jeffry, of Brook- 
haven; Rev. Ebenezer Prime, of Huntington, whose first wife was a 
Sylvester; Rev. Dr. Samuel Buel, of East Hampton; Rev. James 
Brown and Rev. Dr. Aaron Woolworth, of Bridgehampton ; Rev. 
Mr. Barker, of Aquebogue, with whom he placed his son Sylvester 
at the age of ten years for the study of Latin, and the Rev. Enoch 
Huntington, of Middletown, Conn., near whom Mr. Dering lived 
during the period of the Revolution while Shelter Island was in 
the possession of the British. Indeed, the large mansion he occu- 
pied seems ever to have been the welcome home and favorite resort 
of clergymen of various denominations, not only during his resi- 
dence, but also during that of his father-in-law before him, and of 
his son Sylvester Dering after him. Having passed from the active 
duties of a merchant to the retirement of a farmer, he had ample time 
in which to cultivate the fellowship of his numerous friends, among 
whom, being a man of piety, he prized the most that of clergymen. 
Besides this he maintained a numerous correspondence with men in 
various parts, most of them being residents of Boston, which about 
this time was the cradle of Liberty. These kept him well informed 
concerning the events of the day, and through this touch with the 
movements towards liberty his mind became strongly biased towards 
Whig principles and the independence of the colonies. Among 
these correspondents was a lady named Miss Hepzibah Small, 
whose letters were most graphically written. At the breaking out 
of the difficulties between the colonies and the mother country, Mr. 
Dering took a decided stand for Liberty. In May, 1776, he was 
chosen a delegate to the New York Provincial Convention, which 
assembled at White Plains in July of that year, and which unani- 
mously adopted the Declaration of Independence as passed by the 
Provincial Congress at Philadelphia, July 4th, 1776, whereupon the 
convention assumed the title of the Representatives of the State of 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church e^y 

New York. In this body Mr. Bering served forty days, or until 
the British, by the battle of Long Island, obtained possession 
thereof, when he asked for leave of absence to look after his family 
and remove them to a place of security. He decided to remove 
to Middletown, Conn., whither he went in September, 1776, 
and the convention adjourned before he was able to return. Mr. 
Bering was also elected a member of the convention to form a 
constitution for the State of New York in 1777, which convention 
met at Fishkill. It is believed, however, that, owing to the state of 
his health he did not attend. He remained in Middletown, Conn., 
until the restoration of peace, in 1783, when he returned to his estate 
on this island. He had four children, three sons, Henry S., who 
died in infancy, Sylvester and Henry Packer, and one daugh- 
ter, named Elizabeth. On his return to Shelter Island he found 
that great depredations had been committed upon his wood- 
lands while the island was in the possession of the British. It 
is estimated that 3,300 cords of wood had been cut and taken 
away by the order of Lord Percy and Gen. Clinton for the 
use of the troops and ships stationed at Rhode Island under their 
command. For this damage no remuneration was ever made. 
With the active aid of his sons he again resumed the pursuits of agri- 
culture, but was not destined long to enjoy the blessings by which 
he was surrounded, as a protracted illness caused by paralysis termi- 
nated his mortal existence Sept. 26th, 1785, in the 65th year of his 
age. His remains lie buried in the private cemetery in the rear of 
the church." 

Among the clergymen whose acquaintance he enjoyed was the 
mighty evangelist Wbitefield. This renowned preacher of right- 
eousness is said to have made Mr. Bering's home his headquarters 
while visiting the eastern towns of Long Island, in 1764. Buring 
his stay upon the island he preached twice to its inhabitants, once in 
the meeting house and once in the grove near the manor house. 
He so enjoyed Mr. Bering's hospitality and his visit while here that 
he wrote him two letters so full of high regard and affection that I 
herewith give them to you as they appear in Prime's history. The 
first was written at Greenport, then known as Stirling: 

"My Bear Sir: Stirling, Feb. 3, 1764, At night. 

"What a winding world we live in! I have been a good way 
round, and now am come within sight of your house again. Yes- 



c8 Shekel' Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

terday the boat and all was just gone. To-day, I trust, some have 
felt themselves undone — one, upon the road, we overtook, sweetly, 
sorely wounded. Grace! Grace! I am now come to wait for sail- 
ing. Will you send a poor, but willing pilgrim, the promised sea- 
provisions. God feed you and yours with bread that cometh down 
from heaven. A thousand thanks for all favours. Add to my obli- 
gation by continuing to pray for, my dear friend, 

"Yours in the never-faiHng Jesus, 

"G. W." 

The next was written after his arrival in Boston, and is as follows : 

Boston, May 2, 1764. 

"And is Shelter Island become a Patmos? It seems so by my 
dear friend's letter. Blessed be God! Blessed be God! What can- 
not a God in Christ do for His people. All things well. Though he 
leads them seemingly in a round about, yet it is a right way. Though 
they pass through the fire, yet it does not consume — though 
through deep, yea, very deep waters, yet it does not overwhelm, so 
as to destroy them. And all these are only earnests of good things 
to come. How many assurances, that we shall, at last, be carried 
through the Jordan of death, and safely landed in the Canaan of 
everlasting rest. Surely he cannot be far from them now. Such 
frequent shocks that your earthly tabernacle and mine meet with, 
must necessarily loosen the silver cords that hold them up. What 
then? We have a house not made with hands — eternal — in the 
heavens. 

"Though we cannot join in singing, we can in repeating 

'By Thee, we shall 
Break thro' them all 
And sing the song of Moses.' 

"Methinks I hear you say Amen! Hallelujah — and why? Be- 
cause His mercy endureth forever. I could enlarge, but must away 
to my throne. It is but seldom I can climb so high. But an 
infinitely condescending Jesus vouchsafes to smile upon my feeble 
labours, here and elsewhere. Who knows but I may ere long come 
your way. Perhaps the cloud may point towards Patmos. Mr. 
Wright will be glad. He is better and sends most cordial respects. 
My poor prayers constantly wait upon your whole self, Mr. Adams 
and your rising offspring. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 59 

"In sure and certain hope, if we never meet in this world, of a 
glorious resurrection to eternal life, in that which is to come, I sub- 
scribe myself, very dear sir 

"Your truly afifec. sympathizing friend, and willing servant, in 
our common never failing Lord, 

"G. WHITEFIELD." 

Of all this, connected with that prince of preachers. Shelter 
Island may be justly proud. Here, again, Newtown, my former 
beloved charge, grasps hands with Shelter Island, as Newtown was 
likewise honored with the presence and preaching of this celebrated 
evangelist. There, like here, he preached in a neighboring grove, 
to an immense audience, that was deeply moved by his message. 
Among those who were then converted was a young man by the 
name of Peter Fish, who afterwards became pastor of that very 
church. Something akin to this was the conversion of Samuel 
L'Hommedieu, Esq., of Sag Harbor, when he was a young man, in 
connection with Whitefield's preaching on this island. He often 
spoke of this with delight, and also of his having assisted in making 
a raft that conveyed the evangelist with his horse and carriage from 
Southold to Shelter Island. 

Before leaving Mr. Thomas Bering it is worthy of note that his 
family claims to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Saxon family 
extant, whose history can be traced in a direct line back to Ethel- 
ward, King of Diera. Originally the Derings were powerful leaders 
or petty kings of Diera, in Saxony, whence one of them, a warrior, 
came to England, and settled first in Lydd, in Romney, Marsh, Kent. 
One of the more remote ancestors, Bering Miles, appears as a wit- 
ness to a deed by which King Ethelwuff conveyed certain lands to 
a church at Rochester, A. B. 880. The American branch of the 
Bering family came to this country through the person of Henry 
Bering, Esq., of Croscome, by Bumister, near Borchester, in Bor- 
setshire, England, who was born in August, 1639, and came to 
Boston, New England, about 1660. 

Among other possessions Mr. Bering owned a number of 
slaves, one of whom, by the name of Cato, was once caught in his 
wine cellar imbibing. Mr. Bering had him immediately brought 
before him for punishment, and, in order to make his punishment as 
effective as possible, both on the guilty one and the rest of the 
slaves, had them all summoned, with all the whites whom he had in 



6o Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

his employ, in the large servants' kitchen. Among the other slaves 
was one named Comus, who was remarkable for his keenness of in- 
tellect as well as for his immense stature, he being six feet and six 
inches tall. While the sin and punishment of Cato was being dis- 
cussed, this giant of a slave rose up and asked permission to plead 
for Cato, and having received permission from his master, proceeded 
as follows: "Massa, you have pigs and you have corn, 'spose them 
pigs get in and eat some of that corn. The pigs are yours, and is not 
the corn yours just the same, if the pigs have eaten it? Now Cato 
is yours and the cider he drank was yours before, and is it not still 
yours after he has drank it? I do not see why Cato should be pun- 
ished." Mr. Bering rose and said: "Comus, thou reasoneth well. 
Cato, thou art discharged."

CHAPTER IV. 

Through the kindness of Mrs. William Rysam Sleight, of Sag 
Harbor, I am able to give an exact copy of the original census list 
of Shelter Island, taken in 177 1. It is an interesting and valuable 
addition to our work, showing the growth of the community since 
the organization of the Town in 1730. During these years the com- 
munity has doubled in population. Its complexion has remained 
about the same. A few of the names registered in 1730 have disap- 
peared and are not recorded in the list of 1771. These are Syl- 
vester, Hudson, Tuthill, Vail, Hopkins and Oilman. In their place 
appear Bering, Sawyer, Case, King, Duval and Horton. The name 
of Havens is still vastly in the majority, as at the organization of 
the Town. Some names on the list of 1771 are identical with those 
of 1730. These are William Nicoll, Daniel Brown, Thomas Conk- 
ling, Joel Bowditch, Abraham Parker, Jonathan Havens, George 
Havens and Joseph Havens. 

Only two of them, however, represent the same person, namely, 
Daniel Brown and Thomas Conkling. Forty years have now 
passed since the Town was fully organized, and with their passing 
have transported nearly all of the founders into eternity. 

The census Hst of 1776 is also here given, being copied out of one 
of the volumes of Colonial Documents. It shows a slight change in 
the personnel of this community from the list of 1771. 

To return once more to ecclesiastical matters. The first refer- 
ence to religious matters in the records of the Town occurs in the 
minutes of 1771, under the following resolution: "It is voted that 
Messrs. William Nicoll and Nicoll Havens, inspect the accounts 
of those that have the care of the moneys left by Brinley Sylvester, 
Esq., towards the support of the Gospel on this island, and to make 
report next Town meeting." 

As we have already seen, the Rev. Mr. Adams came to this 
island about 1737. He continued to reside here, with a short in-

The above account of the number of the people on Shelter Island was taken 
the 18 day of February, 1771. Jonathan Havens, Jr., Constable. 



Suffolk 
County 



ss: Shelter Island. 



In compliance of a requisition to me from George Murison, Esq., High Sheriff 
of ye said County of Suffolk, as also in pursuance of a warrant to him from His Ex- 
cellency, the Right Honorable John Earl, of Dunsmore, etc., I send the above as an 
exact account of all the inhabitants within my District, the heads of the families being 
included in the number of one hundred and forty Whites. 



sense the labors and privileges of a resident preacher up to that 
time. The resolution of 1771 likewise gives evidence of religious 
interest. It then is hardly probable that such a religious dearth 
existed among them during the last century as has been pictured

by some writers regarding Shelter Island. With a meeting house 
erected by the citizens of the place; with a resident clergyman m the 
home of one, who likewise was called by the community to be its 
pastor; with a fund or legacy of five hundred dollars (a considerable 
sum in those days), the interest of which was to help in the sup- 
port of a regular orthodox Presbyterian minister; with the care 
and oversight of Long Island Presbytery, kindly bestowed in occa- 
sional supplies, of preachers in Presbyterial meetings and ordma- 
tion- with a community largely made up of Pilgrim and Puritan 
descendants, visited by renowned preachers and mighty evangelists,

and in constant touch with the religious communities of Southold, 
Easthampton, Bridgehampton and Southampton — it is more than 
probable that the people enjoyed the privileges of the gospel and 
the ordinances of God's house fully equal to their ability. No doubt 
the Revolutionary war led to the suspension of the outward means 
of grace, as it drove some of the inhabitants, among them the more 
prominent, into exile. And this brings us to a highly important 
period in the history of Shelter Island, the period of the Revolution. 
Some of the incidents that happened here have already been touched 
upon in the review of Mr. Thomas Bering's life. But only some. 
For there were other patriots here who played an important part 
in that mighty struggle. Indeed, Shelter Island was not behind 
any other place in its loyalty and devotion to the cause of liberty. 
Not only "not behind," but way ahead of many another community, 
as the paper here inserted fully proves. This paper, which is a pledge 
to support the Colonies in resisting British oppression, was cir- 
culated upon Shelter Island shortly after the battle of Lexington, 
which was the signal for war with Great Britain. It was signed 
with but one or perhaps two exceptions, by every man on Shelter 
Island. What a record is this! What a display of patriotism! 
Does it not lift the inhabitants of Shelter Island into the very front 
rank of noble citizens, ardent patriots and lovers of freedom? 
That paper is a crown of glory to Shelter Island that shall not fade 
away so long as history is true in its record and just in its meed of 
praise. Let the present and future generations of this place en- 
shrine it in undying affection, for what the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence is to the nation, this instrument is to Shelter Island 
namely, its Magna Charta. 

Besides Mr. Thomas Dering, who, as we have already seen, was 
a member of the Provincial Convention of New York that unani- 
mously adopted the Declaration of Independence, upon which 
the Convention assumed the title of "The Representatives of the 
State of New York," besides Mr. Dering, Shelter Island was repre- 
sented by Capt. James Havens, who kept a store in the house now 
occupied by his great grandson, Mr. Henry P. Havens, and known 
as Hearts-Ease." Still a third member was sent from here in the 
person of Capt. Daniel Brown, so that our little island furnished 
three members of the various Provisional Congresses that met in 
1775 and 1776. I doubt whether another community in all Suffolk 
County did as much. As early as the summer of 1775, the British

navy appeared in these waters, prowling around this island, to the 
number of thirteen ships of war, and during the progress of the war as 
many as twenty-one vessels lay at one time in Gardiner's Bay. That 
body of water became the rendezvous of the enemy's ships of war. 
The names of some of the vessels were as follows: The London, 
120 guns; Grand Duke, 120 guns; Royal Oak, 100 guns; Bedford, 
100 guns; Centurion, 80 Guns; Robust, 74 guns; Royal George, 74 
guns, and the Culloden, 74 guns. Upon the disastrous result of 
the battle of Long Island to the American side, in August, 1776, 
the British took possession of the whole of Long Island, with its 
adjacent islands, and continued their sway of martial law throughout 
the war from 1776 to 1783. 

During these years the inhabitants of Shelter Island suffered 
terribly for their loyalty to the cause of the Colonists. The officers 
of the enemy's vessels anchored in these waters would come ashore 
and compel the inhabitants to provide whatever they demanded. 
They forced every one at the point of the bayonet to swear allegiance 
to the king. Nothing was safe from the hands of the enemy, and 
not only from the enemy, but from some of their neighbors who 
were Tories. 

Thompson in his history tells us that "the Tory inhabitants, 
whether natives or refugees (by which he means those who sympa- 
thized with the British) that the Tory inhabitants were the constant 
dread of those on the other side, who had anything to lose, or who 
had by their patriotism rendered themselves obnoxious to their 
despicable malice. Even the more inoffensive, who remained at 
home with their suffering families, were often harassed, and per- 
petually exposed to the predatory disposition of the worst men, 
and could hardly be said to have anything which they could call 
their own. In some instances the lives of peaceable citizens were 
sacrificed in the most unprovoked and wanton manner, disgraceful 
even to barbarians, because they would not discover their money 
and other valuables to the robbers. The property of those who 
had fled from their homes, and especially those engaged in the 
American service, was particularly the object of rapine, and in 
many instances the damages were immense. Woods and fences 
were lavishly used for fuel, and in any other way which served the 
purposes of those stationed in the neighborhood as well as for the 
garrisons of Brooklyn and New York." 

During this time the administration of justice, according to 



66 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

historian Woods, was suspended and the British army became a 
sanctuary for crimes and robbery, the grossest offences being 
atoned for by enhstment therein. Those who had served in any 
wise in the cause of Hberty had to fly into the American Hnes for 
safety, while those who remained at home were harassed and plun- 
dered of their property, the inhabitants of Suffolk County being 
perpetually exposed to the grossest insult and abuse. They had 
no property of a movable kind that they could, properly speaking, 
call their own; they were oftentimes deprived of the stock neces- 
sary to the management of their farms, and were deterred from en- 
deavoring to produce more than a bare subsistence by the appre- 
hension that a surplus would be wrested from them either by the 
military authority of the purveyor or the ruffian hand of the plun- 
derer. The officers seized and occupied the best rooms in the 
houses of the inhabitants; they compelled them to furnish blankets 
and fuel for the soldiers, and ihay and grain for their horses; they 
took away their cattle, sheep,' hogs and poultry, and seized without 
ceremony and without any compensation whatever they desired 
to gratify their wants and wishes." 

But these pecuniary losses were not the sorest trials that the in- 
habitants of Long Island endured under the tyranny of their op- 
pressors. Besides these violations of the rights of person and 
property, the British officers did many acts of barbarity, for which 
there could be no apology. They made garrisons, storehouses or 
stables of the houses of public worship in several towns, and par- 
ticularly of suoh as belonged to the Presbyterians. Among the 
Presbyterian churches that were thus pillaged was the one of New- 
town, from which "they actually sawed off the steeple in derision, 
smashed its pews, tore off its siding and turned the sacred place into 
a prison, guard house, hospital and stable, and as a parting indignity 
demolished the whole." 

The Presbyterian church of Islip was literally carried off by 
piecemeal to Jamaica to be used as barracks for the British soldiers. 
The church at Southold, our next of kin ecclesiastically, and the 
mother of this church, had no services in it during the whole eight 
years of the war. Its pastor, the Rev. John Storrs, went into the 
army as chaplain. Our Presbytery, the Presbytery of Long Island, 
could not gather during this time of trial, persecution and blood. 
One of its members, the Rev. Joshua Hart, languished for two years 
in the awful prison ships of the enemy anchored in the Wallabout 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 67 

of Brooklyn. All persons of importance in this region were driven 
into exile, only slaves and servants remained. Not even the farms 
could be tilled. From all this you can imagine the hardships that 
the people of this island had to endure during these eventful years. 
As a sample of what they had to endure, I give you this extract 
bearing date of Sept. 15th, 1781: "On the evening of the 15th the 
British ransacked the house of Nicoll Havens on Shelter Island, 
took two fowling pieces, a silver hilted sword, a silver mounted 
hanger, some tea, &€. At Capt. James Havens' they took a watch, 
coat, fowhng piece, &c. Then they went to widow Payne's, in- 
sulted the inmates of the house and threatened to burn it, made 
them produce a silver tankard, linen, a watch, a coat, and a fowling 
piece, &c." No wonder that at the close of the war, as the enemy's 
fleet departed, the people of this place assembled on the hills at 
Prospect and held a jubilee over their departure. One of the 
enemy's vessels, the Culloden, ran ashore on the east point of Fort 
Pond and became a total loss, the accident resulting from a blind- 
ing snowstorm that set in just as the squadron was rounding Gardi- 
ner's Point. Because of this, that point is designated as "Culloden's 
Point" on all charts to this day. 

Dr. Woodworth, in his dedicatory sermon preached upon the 
dedication of the present church building, in 1817, speaking of this 
period, said: "The calamities and disastrous connections of the 
Revolutionary war were here experienced in great weight. The 
destruction of property, though great, was by no means the worst 
evil. The demoralizing effects were much more to be deplored. 
The public means of grace were suspended; the Sabbath of the 
Lord profaned, and that sense of God and the claims of serious 
religion, which rested but too lightly on the public mind, now 
seemed to be wholly erased. Vice in its various forms prevailed 
and failed not to produce its legitimate effects." Such in part were 
the vicissitudes of this people. But it was not in vain. The cause 
for which it had all been born, was not only worthy of it, but had 
gloriously triumphed. 

At the close of the war the Legislature of New York passed 
on April 6th, 1784,' a law governing the incorporation of religious 
societies, by the selection of a Board of Tru .tees, who should have 
charge of the temporalities and discharge such other duties as are 
therein stated. On that same day Shelter Island held its Town 
meeting, the first one after the war, and after selecting its officers. 



68 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

appointed a committee, consisting of Sylvester Bering and Jona- 
than N. Havens, to "inquire into and take charge of the monnies 
left by Brinley Sylvester, Esq., toward the support of the Gospel on 
Shelter Island and make report thereof to the Inhabitants of the 
Island." The next year a special meeting was called of the in- 
habitants of the Society of Shelter Island for the 26th of April, when 
the Church Society was duly organized, as the following record will 
show: 

"These are to certify that a meeting of the Inhabitants of the 
Society of Shelter Island, held on the 26th day of April, 1785, legally 
named agreeable to a Law of this State to Enable all Religious De- 
nominations to choose Trustees to take charge of their Temporali- 
ties, by the name and stile of Trustees of the Freeholders and In- 
habitants of the Township of Shelter Island, the following Persons

The above is the first entry in the records of this society. After 
it comes another, which tells us the order in which the members of 
the Board served the society: 

SUFFOLK COUNTY, ss. At a meeting of the Freeholders 
and Inhabitants of the Town of S'helter Island on the 25th Day

ligious Societies throughout this State") to draw Lots for their 
Numbers, which were as follows: 
William Bowditch, No. i. 
Jonathan N. Havens, No. 2. 
Sylvester Dering, No. 3.

They then Proceeded to the choice of a Trustee in the place 
of the one that by Law then became vacant, when William 
Bowditch was re-chosen. 
The first inventory made by the Trustees according to law was 
made the i6th of March, 1789, and is as follows:

The society was now duly incorporated by the selection of these 
three men as trustees. One of them was the Supervisor of the 
Town; I refer to Jonathan N. Havens, a great-grandson of the first 
George Havens and a man of note ; perhaps the greatest man native 
to this soil. He was the son of Nicoll Havens and Sarah Fosdick, 
his first wife, while Nicoll Havens was the son of Jonathan Havens 
and Catherine Nicoll. The subject of this sketch, Jonathan Nicoll 
Havens, thus bore the given name of his father and grandfather. 
He was born on the i8th of June, 1757. In 1773 he entered Yale 
College, at the age of sixteen, and graduated with honor in 1777. 
While in College he was president of the Linonian Society, from 
which it may be inferred that he was not inattentive to the uses of 
public speaking and composition. After graduating he returned to 



JO Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

his home on this island, where he became partly engaged in agri- 
cultural pursuits. His principal occupation, however, was of a lit- 
erary kind, the pursuit of the higher branches of learning. Several 
years were thus passed in retirement, seclusion and study. So en- 
grossed was he at times in thought that he was unconscious of per- 
sons or things about him, as the following incident will show. A 
certain Major Jessup, of Southampton, a personal friend of Mr. 
Jonathan Nicoll Havens, while on a visit to Shelter Island one day, 
made a call on Mr. Havens, who saluted him as he entered the 
house, but immediately returned to his studies, forgetting altogether 
of his visitor, who after staying a long time departed without notice. 
On the day after he called again, in company with Mr. Sylvester 
Bering, and in conversation related the circumstance of his call on 
the day previous, upon which Mr. Havens assured him that he had 
felt unaware of his visit, so deeply had he been absorbed by the sub- 
ject of his inquiry. Upon the death of his father, also a man of 
great prominence and highly esteemed, Jonathan N. Havens was 
chosen Clerk of the Town. This ofifice his father had held from 
1759, except during the period of the Revolution, to the time of his 
death, in 1783. His father also, with the office of Town Clerk, 
held the office of Supervisor for seven years before the beginning 
of the war, and at its close in the spring of the year in which he 
died, was again elected to both offices. Now the son, at a special 
meeting held Dec. 4th, 1783, is chosen to succeed his father as 
Town Clerk, and with this office begins a public career which gained 
for him a great name in the annals of his country. He continued 
to serve as Town Clerk until 1787, when he was chosen Supervisor, 
which office he discharged until 1793. In the meantime his ability had 
been spread abroad, so that in 1786 he was elected an Assemblyman 
from Suffolk County, to which office he was re-elected for ten con- 
secutive years. In this body he became distinguished for his in- 
tegrity and ability as a statesman. Among other important posi- 
tions he was chairman of the committee which originated the law es- 
tablishing public schools in the State of New York. Then, too, he 
was a member of the State Convention which met at Poughkeepsie 
on June 17, 1788, and adopted the Constitution of the United States. 
He was also elected a Justice of the Peace of the County of Suf- 
folk in 1795. After his ten years of service in the Assembly of the 
State, he was chosen a United States Representative, being elected 
a member of the Fourth Congress, in which body he served until 



Slielter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 71 

his death, in 1799, at the early age of 42. His death was a great 
shock to the community and to all who knew him. Thompson says: 
"He was not only a man of extraordinary abilities, but was distin- 
guished likewise for industry and promptitude in everything which 
he undertook. The death of such a man at the age of 40 years (it 
should be 42) could not be otherwise felt than a subject of general 
regret with all who knew his worth." He was buried in the South 
churchyard, and over his remains was raised a tablet that bears this 
high eulogy: "Erected to the memory of Jonathan Nicoll Havens, 
Esq., Representative in the Congress of the United States. He was 
esteemed by a numerous acquaintance as a man of superior talent 
aud erudition, a philosopher, statesman and patriot, and died greatly 
lamented Oct. 25th, 1799, in the 42 yr. of his age." As Shelter 
Island can with pride point to her first supervisor, the Hon. William 
Nicoll, so can this religious corporation point with equal satisfaction 
to her first selected Trustee, the Hon. Jonathan Nicoll Havens. 

Mr. Havens belonged to a distinguished family. One of his 
sisters, Esther Sarah Havens, married General Sylvester Bering, the 
second trustee, of whom we shall have occasion to speak 
later. Another sister, Mary Catherine, married the Hon. Ezra 
L'Hommedieu, also a noted statesman for more than thirty years, 
born in Southold, and considered by Dr. Epher Whitaker "the 
foremost of all the men who have lived all their life from birth to 
death in that noted town," A brother of Jonathan Nicoll Havens, 
named Rensselaer Havens, became a distinguished merchant, finan- 
cier and patriot in New York City. He, with another gentleman, 
fitted out a vessel and presented it to the government during the 
war of 1812. While in Yale College Mr. Jonathan Nicoll Havens 
wrote the following letter, which is here given because of its interest 
in many ways, among them the parental respect it displays, the 
inconvenience of travel in those days, the use of the pillow case, 
etc., etc. 

"New Haven, March 29th, 1774. 
"Honored Sir: 

"I take this opportunity by Mr. Hathoway to write you a few^ 
lines. By Cpt. Moses Sawyer, who came with him, I understand 
you are troubled with boils, for which am sorry, but am glad to hear 
the rest of the family are all well. I have not heard from you since 
my last, which I sent by Uncle Mumford when he was hear upon the 



72 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Assembly, which I suppose you have received afore this time. As 
the spring vacancy draws nigh, I begin to think of coming home, 
and I believe I shall want to bring home a pretty large bundle, as 
a good many of my shirts begin to wear out and some of my stock- 
ings, together with these I designed to have brought home, my 
cloath for a coat and some of my books which I make no use of, 
which I fear I shall not be able to perform, as having nothing but 
a pillow case which I was put to great difficulty with when I went 
home last, unless I had a pair of saddle-bags or some other con- 
veniency, or could get a passage directly home in some boat, tho' 
I have not heard from you, whether you designed to send a boat on 
purpose. I should be glad to hear whether it is worth while to 
bring all the things home which I have mentioned or in what man- 
ner I shall act, and I remain with love to all, your loving and dutiful 
son, 

"JONATH. N'LL. HAVENS." 

The third trustee of the original board, Mr. William Bowditch, 
was born on this island about the year of 1751. He was the son 
of Joel Bowditch and Bethiah Case. His father was one of the 
twenty men who founded the Town in 1730. 

Mr. Bowditch at the time of his selection as Trustee was Over- 
seer of the Poor. He continued to serve the Town in various offices 
until 1794, when he was chosen Supervisor, which office he held for 
twenty years. Thus from 1784 to the time of his death, in 1820, he 
served the Town in almost every capacity, a period of thirty-six 
years. While as trustee he served this society from its incorpora- 
tion, 1785, with the exception of three years, likewise until his death, 
a period of thirty-two years. He is best remembered as Squire 
Bowditch, and is considered by some to have been the moving spirit 
in the building of the present sanctuary. 

That Board of Trustees has continued in existence down to the 
present time, and as it is characteristic of such Boards to continue 
in existence as long as the corporation which they represent con- 
tinues to exist, and further, as this corporation gives every evidence 
of unending life, it is fair to assume that the Board will continue to 
exist until the end of time. Besides this, as the Rev. Mr. Harries 
said in his historical discourse, we may properly date the origin 
of this congregation from the time of the completion of the first 
meeting house, namely, in 1743. So that this assembly has existed 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 7^ 

by regular succession one hunderd and fifty-five years. You will 
notice that we are thus speaking of the existence of the religious 
assembly or congregation on this island, not the church, for as 
yet we have not reached the time when God in His Grace gathered 
together a body in which to dwell a sanctuary "made up of living 
stones." 

At this date it is said there still lived quite a large number of 
Indians on the island. This conflicts somewhat with a previous 
statement that upon the purchase of the island from the Indians the 
latter left the island. Perhaps not all, but only a portion. How- 
ever, what is here said is substantiated by good and sufficient evi- 
dence. The huts and wigwams of these remaining Indians formed 
quite a village on Sachem's Neck. In 1790 more than half of these 
were destroyed through fire, which broke out in one of them one 
morning, and spread to the rest, as they were pitched so near to- 
gether. Some of the aborigines are remembered by those living 
and present with us at this time. The last of this race became the 
subject of a remarkable conversion, under the early ministry of the 
Rev. Daniel M. Lord, who speaks of her in particular in one of his 
sermons as follows: 

"Of the fruits of this precious refreshing from the presence of 
the Lord twelve were gathered into the church at one communion 
season. Among these was one, the last of the aborigines who was 
born on Shelter Island. She had lived in ignorance and in the 
detriment of sin, without God and wdthout hope in the world. 
More than fourscore years had made its deep furroughs on her brow. 
She had often sold herself to letchery and rum. It may be said for 
many, many years that no one cared for her soul. But God's time 
came, when all her race had been laid in the grave, and all those 
whom she had known in her youth were beneath the clods of the 
valley, then it was that God's word was spirit and hfe. 

"The small amount of truth which she had heard, for she could 
not read in all her lifetime, had a resurrection. She was created 
anew in Christ Jesus unto good works, that she might walk in them. 
There are those present to-day (1856) who remember the bowed 
form but robust frame of Betty Tobs Caeser. They remember also 
the change that came over her. How she adjured the intoxicating 
cup and forsook her wicked ways and unrighteous thoughts and 
returned unto the Lord, who had mercy and abundantly pardoned. 
They saw the change and admired the grace that kindled in her heart 



74 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

the flame of love to God and to man. Not this alone, there are some 
still lingering on these mortal shores who have listened to her voice 
in prayer and have been constrained to feel that her lips were 
touched with hallowed fire. Nor can they forget the scene of the last 
conflict of the dying Indian saint as visions of unutterable glory 
burst upon her sight. Each who witnessed that closing scene felt 
for the Christian to die is gain. Twenty-one years are past and yet 
the vision of that hour stands out before me as the sun of yesterday. 
Oh! death where is thy sting. Oh! grave where is thy victory. 
Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus 
Christ." 

In looking over the first inventory of this religious corporation 
we notice that no real estate is mentioned, though it is well known 
that a church building existed on this island. We are led to ask, 
therefore, to whom did that building belong? It belonged to cer- 
tain freeholders on this island who were instrumental in its erection. 
All its pews were under the control of certain families, who pos- 
sessed the sole and exclusive right to the same. In 1806 the parish 
sought to increase the seating capacity of the original building, and 
so they passed the following resolution : "Voted that the Pews occu- 
pied by Benjamin Nicoll, William Bowditch, Sylvester Dering, and 
James Havens, be made narrower so as to make room for a Pew in 
front of James Havenses pew and the next seat and another in 
front of William Bowditches Pew and the next seat, and that the 
Pews of Benjamin Nicoll, William Bowditch and Sylvester Dering, 
and James Havens be moved back at the expense of the Parish, to 
be paid by the Trustees out of the Public monies in their hands, 
that any person wishing to build a pew in either of these places, 
left for the purpose, may do it, by application to the Trustees on the 
following conditions, to wit, that they build the pews at their ex- 
pense, keeping an exact account thereof, to be delivered to the 
Trustees, and that they, their heirs and assigns have use, &c., and oc- 
cupy those pews untill called for by the Parish, when Parish shall pay 
the person who built them, their Heirs and Assigns, the price the 
Pews cost, after which they shall deliver them to the society." 
In 1808 the Parish sought to get control of all the pews, as the fol- 
lowing minutes of that date will show: "Voted that the Trustees con- 
sult the owners of Pews in the Meeting House, and know of them if 
they will sell them, and at what price, and if all the owners of Pews 
will sell, to call a Parish meeting that the Parish may determine to 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 75 

purchase them or not." The purchase was never effected; and the 
whole system of ownership continued until the original building 
passed out of use because of decay. 

Looking once more at that inventory, we see that the amount of 
personal property is given as £166 14s. 7^d., or about $830. This 
shows that the legacy of Brinley Sylvester, amounting to £100, given 
in 1752, had increased to one and two-thirds of the original amount. 
It continued to grow so that the Trustees in the next inventory of 
1793 reported it as about amounting to £188, or $940. The Society 
was thus in position to secure the preached Word, and did so by ap- 
plying to the Presbytery of Long Island at its spring meeting, held 
at Southampton Apr. 21, 1789. The following item is to be found in 
the minutes of that date : "Mr. John Taylor, a candidate for the min- 
istry from Connecticut, was appointed to preach at Sag Harbor 
and Shelter Island, they applying for supplies." 

About this time Mr. Stephen Burroughs, author of "Memoirs of 
Stephen Burroughs," was engaged to teach school in this place. He 
speaks at some length in his "Memoirs" of his labors here as a school 
teacher, and mentions a number of citizens of that date with whom 
he lived and mingled. 

Under date of Oct. ist, 1795, we have the first reference in our 
Town records to the slaves that were on this island. According 
to the second census list there were thirty-three slaves on Shelter 
Island in 1776. These were owned as follows: five by Mr. Thomas 
Bering, fourteen by Mr. Nicoll Havens, two by Mr. Daniel Brown, 
ten by Mr. William Nicoll, and two by Mr. Obadiah Havens. 
Twenty-one of these were male and the balance were female negroes. 
At the close of the Revolution the chief principle in the bringing 
about of which was "that all men are created equal and that they are 
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that 
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," measures 
were taken to abolish the custom of slavery which had existed 
among the various colonies from their very inception. On Feb- 
ruary 22, 1788, the Legislature of New York passed an act for the 
manumitting of slaves within the Empire State. According to this 
act, slaves under the age of fifty years who were physically able to 
support themselves and thus not liable to become a charge upon 
the Town, could be given their freedom by their owners upon appli- 
cation to the overseers of the poor and justices of the peace of the 
county, subject to their approval. In accordance with this mea~ 



76 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

sure, on October i, 1795, Mr. Sylvester Bering, Mr. Henry Bering 
and Mr. Nathaniel Gardiner applied for the privilege of manu- 
mitting a negro woman slave called "Matilda," of which they were 
the owners. These gentlemen being sons and son-in-law of Mr. 
Thomas Bering, deceased, had by inheritance come into posses- 
sion of this slave, and now desired to give her her freedom. The 
privilege was granted, and Matilda was, according to the Town 
records, the first slave to gain her freedom on Shelter Island. In 
1799 Rensselaer Havens sought the same privilege for one of his 
slaves, named "Bick," which was granted. The same year Samuel 
B, Nicoll released three of his slaves, who were father, mother 
and child, named respectively. Cade, Elizabeth and Armenie. In 
1801 Besire Havens released a negro woman called "Fide." In 1806 
Sylvester Bering did the same for one called "Violet," while in 1821 
his widow released a slave called "London." Under date of June i. 
1804, Sylvester Bering makes affidavit to the birth of "Achilles, a 
male negro child born of a slave" belonging to him, and born the 
loth day of February, 1804. These comprise all the references to- 
ward slaves and slavery as it existed on Shelter Island to be found 
in our Town records. 

In 1794 it was voted "That one years Interest of the monies 
belonging to the Freeholders and Inhabitants of this Town for the 
support of the Gospel be appropriated by the Trustees for that pur- 
pose: and paid into the hands of Benjamin Nicoll, James Havens 
and Sylvester Bering, who are hereby appointed our Committee 
to procure a Person to Preach the Gospel in this place and to pay 
the same as they may agree, not exceeding the rate of four dollars 
for each Sabbath." The same year we find this curious entry in the 
Town records: "At a Special Town Meeting (held April 29th, 1794) 
called for the purpose of regulating the clam fishery, it was resolved 
that a tax of three pence, for every bushel of clams dug by non- 
inhabitants of the island, the proceeds of which save 20% was to be 
paid into the hands of the Religious Society for the purpose of sup- 
porting the gospel or maintaining a school on the said island as 
the freeholders and inhabitants of said island shall at their annual 
Town Meetings direct." The way they, however, disposed of this 
tax was to repeal it the next year; at the same time directing what 
revenue had been received from it should be placed in the hands 
of a School Committee consisting of William Bowditch and Ezekial 
Havens, to be disposed of by them for school purposes. The reso-

Rev. WHITEFIELD COWLES 

AND THE 

Fly-Leaf of his Manuscript Sermon Preached in the Original Meeting House 
ON Shelter Island, N. Y., Sunday, August 21, 1798 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 'jy 

lution passed by the society this year voting the interest of the 
monies in the hands of the Trustees to the securing of a preacher 
was repeated in 1795 and 1796. 

From the treasurer's accounts we learn that in response to these 
resolutions the Rev. Whitfield Cowles preached on four Sabbaths in 
1796, for which he received £4; and in 1797 the Rev. Jacob Cram 
preached one Sabbath, for which he was paid £1 4s. In 1798 the 
Rev. Whitfield Cowles preached again for the society twenty-four 
Sabbaths, for which he received £9 12s. The Rev. Jacob Cram was 
the son of Jonathan Cram, of Hampton Falls, N. H., born Oct. 12, 
1762, a graduate of Dartmouth College, in 1782. After preaching 
here he became the pastor of the church in Orient. He died in 
Exeter, N. H., Dec. 21, 1833. The Rev. Whitfield Cowles was the 
son of Capt. Josiah Cowles, of Southington, Conn., born June 3, 
1764. He graduated from Yale College in 1788, and in 1793 re- 
ceived the degree of A. M. The next year, 1794, he was ordained 
at East Granby, Conn. The same year he married one of Shelter 
Island's fair daughters. Miss Gloriana Havens. She died in 1802. 
The following year he married again, choosing for his second wife 
Miss Desire Brown, also of Shelter Island. Mr. Cowles' picture is 
given on the next page, together with a fac-simile of the fly leaf of 
one of his sermons preached in the meeting house on Shelter Island, 
Aug. 2 1st, 1798. 

Besides the clergymen already mentioned there were others who 
are known to have occasionally preached here, among them being 
the Rev. Dr. Buell, pastor of the Easthampton Presbyterian Church 
from 1746 to 1798. In 1799 and 1800 Mr. John Rudd taught school 
on this island. While here he boarded with Gen. Sylvester Dering, 
who became strongly attached to him. He was a young man of 
good promise, and after leaving this place he opened a school in 
New York City, where he gained the good will of Bishop Moore, 
who instructed him in divinity, after which he became an Episco- 
palian minister, subsequently receiving the degree of D. D. and be- 
coming the editor of a religious paper called the "Christian Mes- 
senger." The next year the Parish sought to gain a resident 
clergyman in the person of the Rev. Herman Daggett as preacher 
and teacher. Mr. Daggett had labored at Southampton for a num- 
ber of years, leaving there in 1797 and going to Westhampton, where 
he labored until 1801. The action of the parish in seeking to gain 
the services of Mr. Daggett was the following: "Voted that the 



78 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Trustees be requested to make application to the Rev. Herman Dag- 
gett to come and reside with us as a preacher of the Gospel and a 
Teacher of our school for the term of ten years. Voted that we will 
give the Rev. Herman Daggett for Preaching to us on the Sabbath, 
and for Teaching our school during the time before mentioned, 
Three Hundred and fifty Dollars per anniuu, to be raised in the fol- 
lowing manner: 

"The Trustees annually to open a Subscription and present it 
to all the Inhabitants to sign what they will give for preaching each 
Sabbath for one year or during their residence on Shelter Island, 
the money raised by this Subscription together with the Annual In- 
terest of our Public monies to be appropriated as far they will go 
towards the payment of Two Hundred Dollars of the before men- 
tioned Salary — and in case the Subscription for the support of the 
Gospel and the Interest of the Public monies does not amount to 
the sum of two Hundred Dollars, it shall then be lawfull for the 
Trustees and they are hereby authorized and required to make up 
the deficiency out of any monies in their hands belonging to the 
Freeholders and Inhabitants of Shelter Island and given for the 
support of the Gospel — leaving the remaining part of the salary, 
viz., one hundred and Fifty Dollars to be raised by the Proprietors 
of the School — a true record of the votes. 

(Seal) "SYLVESTER DERING, Clk." 

About the same time Mr. Daggett received this call or proposi- 
tion, he also received a call from the church at Middletown, now 
known as Middle Island, whither he went and was installed Oct. 
20th, 1 80 1. There he remained until 1807 or 9, when he removed to 
Connecticut. Dr. Prime in his history speaks of him in the highest 
terms as "a man of sterling talents, respectable acquirements and 
peculiar excellence of character." What the parish did upon failing 
in their efforts to bring the Rev. Herman Daggett in their midst we 
cannot tell. In 1804 they made apphcation again to the Presbytery 
of Long Island, with this result: "Supplies were requested for Shel- 
ter Island, and Messrs. Lyman Beecher, Joseph Hazzard, Daniel 
Hall and Zachariah Green were appointed for the purpose. Mr. 
Foster also offering to supply, it was agreed that he should take 
one Sabbath on Shelter Island." These men doubtless discharged 
their appointment. Among them are the names of two men who 
have left behind them an illustrious record, one, the Rev. Dr. Lyman 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church yg 

Beecher, as an able theologian and the father of a family noted for 
great preachers, among them the world-wide famous Henry Ward 
Beecher; the other, Zachariah Green, who is best known as an in- 
tense patriot during the Revolutionary War, though at the time of 
its commencement but sixteen years of age. Of another of these 
brethren, Daniel Hall, I shall have much to say presently. The fol- 
lowing year, or 1805, the parish passed a resolution inviting the Rev. 
Benjamin Bell to preach to the inhabitants for one year, he to re- 
ceive for his services three dollars per Sabbath. Mr. Bell responded 
to this call and preached for the society, as is seen from the treas- 
urer's accounts. At the same meeting in which the parish invited 
the Rev. Mr. Bell, it was voted that "the Trustees repair the meeting 
house and pay for the same out of the Public monies in their hands 
for Religious purposes." That this was done the following entry 
will show: "To cash paid the Bills for shingling the Porch and 
repairing the Meeting House, £31.0.22." Another preacher who 
served during one Sabbath was the Rev. Mr. Boge. 

About this time the Rev. Dr. Timothy Dwight, President of Yale 
College, made a visit to this island during one of his vacation trips 
through Long Island. His experiences, observations and impres- 
sions of these various journeys he fully describes in a series of vol- 
umes entitled "Travels in New England and New York." In one 
of these letters Dr. Dwight speaks very fully of his visit to Shelter 
Island. In those days the ferry ran from Stern's Point to the nar- 
row neck of land just opposite on the northern arm of Long Island. 
The ferry was known as "Bushe's Ferry," so called because the 
owner's name was "Boisseau," which was pronounced "Busche." 
Not having the patronage in those days that the ferry enjoys now ac- 
counts for the poor or meagre accommodations that Dr. Dwight 
found, for he says : "We found the ferry had neither wharf nor ferry 
stairs on either side. The shore was a gradual slope. We were 
therefore obliged to ride to the boat, and with much difficulty to 
force our horses into it by leading them over the gunwhale." 

Of the island itself, after describing its formation, soil products, 
etc., he says : "To the credit of the inhabitants, especially of the prin- 
cipal proprietors, it ought to be observed that they have customarily 
made considerable exertions to support schools and obtain the 
preaching of the gospel." 

In 1806 the Rev. Daniel Hall, of Sag Harbor, where he had been 
pastor of the Presbyterian church for eight years, was asked to 



8o 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 



become the minister of the parish, according to the following record: 
"At a Parish Meeting held on Shelter Island at the Meeting House 
on the 5th of May, 1806, to consult about engaging the Reverend 
Daniel Hall to preach to us the ensuing year; and after examining 
the subscription for his support, Voted that the Trustees of the Free- 
holders and Inhabitants of Shelter Island invite the Rev'd Daniel 
Hall to preach to us for one year, and that they make the deficiency 
of the subscription up to three Dollars a Sabbath out of the Parish 
Monies." As that subscription list is in existence, and is of im- 
portance in many ways, I give it here as follows:

The Rev. Mr. Hall had just been released from his pastoral 
duties at Sag Harbor by the Presbytery upon his own request. He 
was the first settled pastor of that church, beginning his labors there 
in 1797 and continuing there until his removal to Shelter Island in 
1806. Here he remained and served until his death in 1812. Mr. 
Hall has left an undying record behind him in the organization of 
this church, which he effected in 1808. In two years after his com- 
ing the condition of spiritual things had so far advanced as to make 
the organization of a church possible by the adoption, on Sept. 28th, 
1808, of the following Confession of Faith and Church Covenant: 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 8i 

"Whereas it hath pleased God to favour us with the pubHc ad- 
ministrations of his word, and considering the obhgations that all are 
under, who have hope in the mercy of God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ, and desirous of the advancement and prosperity of his King- 
dom, have severally agreed to the following articles of Faith and 
Covenant conformable to the order and discipline of the Presby- 
terian Church as established in the United States: 

ARTICLES OF FAITH. 

"We do profess and solemnly believe that there is only one living 
and true God subsisting in three persons, the Father, the Son, and 
the Holy Ghost. 

"That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments is the 
Word of God, and the only infallible rule of Faith and practice. 

"That the original state of mankind was that of purity and hap- 
piness; but through the disobedience of the first Adam, his whole 
posterity are fallen into a state of sin and misery, exposed to all the 
evils of the present state, and condemnation of the future. 

"That God of his abundant mercy hath sent his Son to redeem 
and save that which was lost, and that all who truly believe in him 
are justified, saved and accepted of God, and continuing in the faith 
will have an open entrance into his Heavenly Kingdom. 

"That God hath appointed a day in which he will judge the 
world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath ordained to be 
the Judge of quick and dead, that then the Lord Jesus Christ will 
admit the Righteous to the full enjoyment of his Heavenly King- 
dom, and will sentence the wicked to everlasting punishment. 

THE COVENANT. 

"We do now as we humbly hope in divine mercy avouch the 
Lord to be our God, trusting alone for acceptance through the 
mediation of his dear Son, promising as God may enable us to walk 
in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, to have our 
hearts united to the people of God, to love and treat them as breth- 
ren, and in common with ourselves as members of the mistical body 
of Christ. 

"We promise to submit ourselves to the government of tlie 
Church of Christ, and to this Church in particular, to walk towards 



82 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

each other in the fellowship of the Gospel and to seek in all things 
its spiritual peace and prosperity, so long as God in his providence 
shall continue our relation with them." 

The following persons appeared, and after having heard the fore- 
going Articles of Faith and Covenant read, assented to them and 
requested their names inserted, viz.: 

Rev. Daniel Hall, Pastor. 

Lucretia Hall, his wife. 

Ephraim King. 

Mehitable King, his wife. 

Sylvester Bering and his wife 

E. Sarah Bering. 

Jonathan Boughlass and his wife 

Abigail Boughlass. 

Mary Mayo. 

Eunice Case. 

Anna Boisseau. 

Elizabeth Havens. 

Abigail Sawyer. 

Lodowick Havens. 

Esther Case. 

To this body of believers the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper 
was administered by Mr. Hall on Sunday, October i6th, 1808. 
Though Congregational in form, it strongly leaned towards the 
Presbyterian fold from the very beginning, the preamble of its Con- 
fession mentioning that body as its model. Mr. Hall continued his 
connection with the Presbytery of Long Island until his death. 
That Presbytery had now for many years exercised a kindly over- 
sight over the religious affairs of this island. As early as 1747 it 
had met by the good will of the inhabitants on this island by com- 
mission. 

Again, in 1766, when it ordained the Rev. Elam Potter. It was 
repeatedly petitioned by the people of Shelter Island to appoint 
preachers to this place, which requests it cordially complied with, 
as has already been seen, and now in less than two years after the 
organization of the Church Presbytery holds its spring meeting 
upon Shelter Island under date of April i8th, 1810. The opening 
sermon of that session of Presbytery was preached by the Rev. 
Jonathan Huntting, at that time pastor of the church ,at Southold, 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 83 

and who was destined twenty years later to be the Stated Supply 
for a period of years to this very church. Rev. Mr. Hall continued 
his labors here with marked success until his death, which occurred 
Jan. 20, 18 1 2, from tetanus, caused by the amputation of a can- 
cerous foot. Dr. Prime, who was his successor in the pastorate of 
the Sag Harbor Presbyterian Church, speaks of him as having been 
a "remarkably affectionate preacher; a son of consolation rather than 
a Boanerges." His remains were buried in our south church-yard, 
and over his grave was raised a tablet bearing this inscription : 

"Sacred to the Memory of 

Rev. Daniel Hall, 

Who died Jan. 20, 181 2. 

Ae 64. 

"In all the various relations of life he lived like a Christian. 
As a husband and parent he was tender and affectionate. As a 
neighbor and friend, he was kind and benevolent. As a citizen he 
was truly patriotic, and as a minister of Jesus, he was faithful unto 
death." 

Mr. Hall was born in New London, Conn., Sept. 19th, 1747. He 
was the son of Jonathan and Alice Hall. He left a widow, two 
sons, John and William, and three daughters, Sophronia, Lucretia 
and Mary, 

Sophronia married Charles Doughlass, of Sag Harbor, and Lu- 
cretia married Capt. David Brown, of the same place. This doubt- 
less led to Mrs. Hall's removal to Sag Harbor, where she died on 
Sept. 4th, 1825, aged 76, her remains being brought to this island 
for interment alongside those of her 'husband, where they now lie 
with a host of others awaiting the resurrection morn. All of the 
original members of this church have long since passed to their re- 
ward. The first person of that band of fifteen to be called away was 
Mrs. Mehitable King, wife of Ephraim King, who died in less than 
four months after the organization, namely, Feb. 2d, 1809, aged 
73 years. The husband died July 8th, 1820. Their bodies were at 
first buried in the south church-yard, but afterwards removed to Sag 
Harbor. 

The year following the organization of this church steps were 
taken at a special meeting of the parish, held the 6th of June, 1809, 
to procure a new meeting house, the trustees being then directed 
to pass a subscription paper among the people, with the condition 



84 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

that their subscriptions would not be binding unless at least one 
thousand dollars were subscribed. This effort, however, did not 
succeed. Perhaps because once more the national skies were grow- 
ing dark by the appearance of a war cloud which did burst in storm 
upon the people, and once more Shelter Island became the butt of 
the enemy's abuse and destruction. For like in the war of the Revo- 
lution, another fleet of British warships made Gardiner's Bay their 
anchorage and headquarters. Among them were the Ramesis, 
Maidstone, Sylph Thunderer, Pantagenet and the brig Boxer. 
These blockaded the whole eastern coast, from Fisher's Island to 
Montauk, and sought to destroy the neighboring villages, sending 
off their barges by night and by day. Under the cover of darkness 
they made an assault upon Sag Harbor, setting fire to its wharfs, 
but were driven off by the soldiers stationed there, among whom 
were a number of men recruited from this island. The national 
forces sought to blow up the flagship of this squadron, which was 
the Ramesis, by the use of a torpedo sent down the sound from 
New York. The effort, however, failed, from the torpedo getting 
ashore a little to the northwest of Greenport. One of the British 
ships, the Sylph, was sent out to destroy it, and did so, after which it 
cruised around the eastern end of Long Island. While running 
around Montauk Point on Jan. 17th, 181 5, she went ashore on the 
south side of Long Island and became a total wreck. Out of her 
crew of one hundred and twenty-one men only six were saved. 
Among the lost were the following officers: Captain George Dick- 
ens, commanding olftcer; Lieutenant George Butt, Lieutenant H. S. 
Marsham, Mr, James Still, surgeon; Mr. Thomas Atwell, master. 
Indirectly that torpedo did its work. The man who brought it down 
the Sound was named "Penny." He lived at Northwest in a lonely 
place. The British found him out and one night took him prisoner. 
He was transported to Halifax, where he was held a prisoner until 
the end of the war. 

As in the Revolution so in the war of 181 2, the enemy would 
come ashore on this island, day or night, and confiscate cattle, 
sheep, and whatever else they wanted. It was another season of 
trial and suffering to our fair isle. One night the enemy went ashore 
on Gull Island and threw the lamps of the lighthouse into the sea. 
But they paid dearly for this act of vandalism, as one of their 
barges ran ashore on Plum Island, resulting in its loss, together 
with several of its crew. Their bodies were found shortly after by 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church gc 

others from the squadron and buried on the east side of that island 
Over the grave of one was set a marker, upon which was inscribed 
the following epitaph: 

"Safely at anchor here I lay 
With several of our fleet, 
And here will lie till I set sail 
My Admiral Christ to meet." 

Of course such wanton destruction of our beacon light had to 
be repaid in some way. So the Yankees bought an old square 
rigged vessel, and fixing a magazine in her hold, so connected that 
upon raising the hatches, it would explode, sailed her as near the 
fleet as they dared, and then under cover of darkness abandoned 
her. When the enemy noticed the vessel they put ofif in boats and 
brought her alongside of the fleet. Then a number of officers went 
aboard and started to raise the hatches, when the magazine ex- 
ploded with terrific force, blowing the men into the sea to their 
destruction and the vessel to the bottom of the waters. The British 
were so incensed that they sent their barges up the Connecticut the 
next night and burned every vessel that they found as far up as 
Deep River. 

Mr. Lodowick Havens, from whose personal record these facts 
have been culled, says the sound of that explosion was like an 
earthquake. The British sent an order ashore on this island for the 
people to immediately furnish a lot of provisions, but little heed 
at that time was given to it, as the people felt that the three com- 
panies of soldiers stationed at Sag Harbor were abundantly able 
to protect them. Every man, however, on the island, kept his gun 
and bayonet in the room where he slept, and carried it with him to 
meeting when there was one, which under such conditions was 
not often. When peace was again restored in 1814, the people once 
more assembled in jubilee, only this time instead of on Prospect 
Heights they met in the mansion of Gen. Sylvester Bering. It is 
not to be wondered at that in the presence of such a state of public 
affairs the attempt at procuring a new meeting house, set on foot 
in 1809, should have failed. The year following the restoration of 
peace, however, namely, 1815, the effort was renewed. Of this 
we shall speak later on. 

A little more than two months after Mr. Hall's death, in 1812, 
this church took steps towards being fully organized according to 



86 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Presbyterian polity, with the view of being received into the Pres- 
bytery of Long Island. "At a meeting of the congregation of Shel- 
ter Island on Friday, March 27th, 1812, being a day of fasting and 
prayer, voted (the subject having previously been under consider- 
tion a suitable time) 'that it is their wish and desire that the church 
should be regularly organized with officers upon Presbyterian prin- 
ciples, and become regularly connected with the Presbytery of 
Long Island.' They also proceeded to the choice of three Elders 
and two deacons, and General Sylvester Bering, Jonathan Dough- 
lass and Lodowick Havens were chosen Elders, and the two former 
Deacons. The above persons having declared their acceptance 
of this appointment were at the same time solemnly ordained accord- 
ing to the Directory." 

They were ordained by the Rev. Aaron Woolworth, D. D.. 
pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Bridgehampton, who by re- 
quest attended and presided on that occasion. Upon being duly 
elected and installed into their sacred office these elders the next 
day, March 28th, made application to the Presbytery of Long 
Island, on behalf of the church, "to be received into that body agree- 
able to the above resolution." 

Presbytery met that year at Huntington on April 9th, 181 2, 
when the application was received and acted upon as follows: 
"A communication from the Church at Shelter Island was received 
containing a request that they might be received into connection 
with the Presbytery. The Presbytery having ascertained that the 
proceedings of that church were regular, resolved to grant their 
request, and they are thereby accordingly received." And since 
that time down to the present, a period of eighty-six years, this 
church has maintained its relation with that great branch of the 
Christian Church with dignity and honor. 

Dr. Woolworth has left on record a personal account of Mr. 
Hall's ministry and the organization of this church, which is of such 
importance that it may well be added here : "Rev. Daniel Hall's min- 
istry, though short, was connected with salutary effects. The public 
worship was well attended and the moral state of society much im- 
proved. Nor were individual instances of conviction and hopeful 
conversion wanting. By Mr. Hall's exertion a church was first 
formed which had before been supposed that the number of pro- 
fessors was so small as to render such an attempt inefficient. This 
may be considered as the dawn of that brighter day which has since 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 87 

opened upon you. The standard of the cross was now in manner 
and form erected, and the King of Zion sanctioned it, by many 
unequivocal tokens of his approbation which have followed. Some 
small additions were made to the church during Mr. Hall's minis- 
try, and the little band walking in fellowship of the gospel were 
edified. 

"His death, which took place in January, 1812, was considered 
as a severe rebuke of heaven, both by the church and congregation, 
by whom he was much esteemed and loved. This mournful event 
it is believed was sanctified and made the means of leading Chris- 
tians to a more feeling sense of their dependence upon God, and 
exciting them to greater steadfastness in prayer. In the following- 
spring the church was more completely organized by the choice 
and public consecration of elders, which from the smallness of its 
numbers had hitherto been delayed. Well, my brethren, do you 
and I remember the solemnities of that day. The sacrament of the 
Lord's Supper had just been administered, and after the ordination 
of the session they were publicly asked whether they would engage 
to maintain public worship on the Sabbath, when there should be 
no preaching, a thing which had never before been observed, to 
which under a deep and solemn sense of duty they consented on 
supposition that the people wished it. The proposal was made to 
the congregation, who by a unanimous vote expressed their desire 
of this arrangement and engaged to countenance and encourage it. 
Accordingly since that time the public worship has been uniformly 
kept up, and in general been well attended, and there is reason to 
believe the special blessing of God has accompanied it." 

And now we have reached the time when our beloved church 
became fully organized as a Presbyterian church and in organic 
relation with the Presbytery of Long Island and the great Presby- 
terian Church of the United States of America. Thus far our re- 
view has been largely devoted to the birth and life of this island 
as the charming abode of the white man. We have gone into its 
civil history with increased delight, and would find pleasure in 
pursuing it down to the present time. But that is not according 
to our purpose. That purpose is to trace out the record of Shelter 
Island down to the organization of this Society, and from that point 
to confine the record to the Presbyterian church. We have there- 
fore reached the time when ecclesiastical and civil matters becoming 
distinct from each other, we must bid the latter an affectionate 



38 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

"good bye." We can say to the civil part of our research, that if 
we shall find the ecclesiastical as interesting, creditable, yea, glori- 
ous, we shall have lasting cause for thanksgiving to the Almighty, 
who shapes our ends, and in shaping them made those of the writer 
to run across this place, which when He formed He so lavishly 
beautified for the comfort, repose and rejuvenation of mankind.

CHAPTER V. 

We will begin the ecclesiastical part of these historical papers 
with the erection of the present church building. Upon the close 
of the second war with Great Britain, in 1814, the effort begun in 
1809 to procure a new meeting house, and which had been inter- 
rupted by the war, was once more taken up by the circulation of 
the following subscription paper, with its accompanying result: 

"Shelter Island, September, 181 5. 
"Whereas the House of Public Worship on Shelter Island is 
too small comfortably to accommodate the Inhabitants, and so gone 
to decay as to render it very uncomfortable in wet and cold weather, 
and it being judged unfit to repair and enlarge, we the subscribers 
do agree to pay on demand the several sums affixed to our names, 
to the Trustees of the Freeholders and inhabitants of Shelter Island, 
as a donation towards building a new Meeting House, or place of 
Public Worship on said Island, and that as soon as the Trustees 
judge that a sufficient sum is subscribed and collected to commence 
the building, they shall call a meeting of the Society for the pur- 
pose of agreeing upon a place for the Building, and the choice of 
a Committee to purchase materials, and to contract with persons to 
build the same. The House to belong to the Society, and to be regu- 
lated by them agreeably to the laws of this State, in such case made 
and provided, and in case more money should be subscribed and 
collected than is necessary, the overplus to be added to the fund for 
the support of the Gospel on Shelter Island."

In less than three months from the date of the foregoing sub- 
scription paper all this had been gathered together. The Trustees, 
judging that a sufficient sum had been subscribed and collected to 
commence the building, gave public notice of a meeting of the so- 
ciety to be held in the school house on Friday, Dec. 8th, 181 5, at 
3 o'clock P. M. The meeting was held according to appointment, 
but that a more general attendance of the Society might be gained, 
adjourned without action for one week, or until Dec. 15th, at which 
time the Society, having made choice of WilHam Bowditch as mod- 
erator and Sylvester Dering as clerk, passed the following resolu- 
tions: "Resolved, that the Meeting House to be erected shall be 



Q2 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

built on the Land where the old Meeting House now stands. Re- 
solved, that Sylvester Bering, William Bowditch, Samuel Lord, 
Jonathan Doughlass and Henry Conklin be a committee to receive 
the monies subscribed for building said Meeting House from the 
hands of the Trustees, and to build the said Aleeting House of such 
dimensions and materials as the Committee or a majority of them 
shall agree." 

A few days after the subscription paper began to be circulated 
a violent storm swept over this island, something like a tornado, in 
those days called the "great September gale." This storm felled 
a large number of Shelter Island's most stately trees. Many of 
these belonged to Gen. Sylvester Bering, and these he generously 
donated to the Society for use in the proposed building. Out of 
them was hewn the massive timbers that form the enduring frame 
of our present building. "The stars," said the Rev. Mr. Harries, 
"the stars in their courses fought for them, and the fierce winds of 
heaven brought them the oaks of Bashan and the cedars of Le- 
banon." It is indeed an ill wind that blows nobody good. God 
encouraged the Society in its purpose to erect a new sanctuary for 
His praise in felling the necessary trees for its frame upon the estate 
of one whom He knew had His cause greatly at heart, and who 
would generously donate them for that purpose. The building 
committee having funds and material at hand went immediately to 
work, and in less than fifteen months the building was finished and 
ready for its furnishings. To do this an additional five hundred 
dollars was necessary, which the parish, at a meeting held March 14, 
1 81 7, unanimously authorized the trustees to borrow upon the note 
of the corporation. 

Buring the year 181 6, in which the building was under construc- 
tion, a remarkable revival of religion was experienced on this island. 
Between forty and fifty persons were hopefully converted, or as the 
record notes it, "made to bow to the sceptre of Jesus." The origin 
of this work of grace began in the conversion of a husband and wife 
in the early part of the year 181 5. These two persons were highly 
connected, and the marked change in their life greatly impressed 
the community with the power of religion. Soon a third person 
became seriously concerned about salvation and moved towards 
Christ. This deepened the impression upon the people and pre- 
pared the way for a monthly prayer meeting. This third person 
was a young woman whose conversion Br. Woolworth speaks of 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 93 

as remarkable. The summer came, bringing an increased interest 
in public worship. The work of the Lord continued to spread and 
prosper through the fall to such a degree that by the time Christmas 
had arrived the people, instead of spending the evenings of that 
week in festivity and mirth, as they were wont to do, they spent 
them in prayer and other religious exercises, which "most of the 
young people attended, and the meetings were solemn and marked 
with animating tokens of divine presence. Things remained much 
in this state until February, 1816 (I am now quoting from Dr. 
Woolworth's dedicatory sermon, preached in 181 7), when the 
spirit of the Lord was poured out as on the day of Pentecost. The 
work commenced in the school-house (then under the charge of Mr. 
Samuel Bhillips, a young man of ardent piety, and who subsequently 
became editor and proprietor of the 'Republican Watchman'). 
The mind of one of the scholars was so deeply impressed as to con- 
strain him to cry out and request the teacher to pray for him. This 
disclosure soon discovered that the minds of many others were the 
subjects of very special rehgious impressions. The usual exercises 
of the school the rest of the day were suspended and the time de- 
voted to prayer, reading the Scriptures and religious conversation. 
Persons in the immediate neighborhood came in and were deeply 
affected with what they witnessed. The dismission of the school 
at night carried the news of the wonderful things which had taken 
place into most of the families on the island. Much the same scenes 
were renewed the next day at the school-house. Many came to see 
and hear and were convinced that what they saw and heard was 
indeed the work of God. Deep solemnity rested upon the minds 
of almost all the inhabitants. Religious meetings were at first at- 
tended every day or evening and thronged by multitudes anxiously 
inquiring, 'What shall we do to be saved?' The revival thus begun 
continued in great power for months. The occasional preaching of 
the Word, which was now frequently enjoyed, and other public 
religious exercises, were attended with surprising effects. While 
scarcely an individual in the whole limits of the congregation could 
be found indififerent and secure, great numbers were the subjects 
of deep and distressing convictions, under the influence of which 
they were led to affecting discoveries of their lost estate in them- 
selves — the infinite evil of sin — the plague of their own hearts — their 
perishing need of an interest in Christ, and in order to this of being 
renewed by the power of divine grace in the spirit of their minds. 



QA Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

In this state of humiliation the mercy of God appeared for those 
who were brought out of darkness into marvellous light. The 
enmity of their hearts was slain, and their minds enlightened in 
the spiritual knowledge of God and divine things. The result of 
which was unfeigned submission and self-consecration to God, all 
issuing in repentance towards Him, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ 
and that composure, peace and joy of mind which these divine 
graces and that standing in the new covenant which they ensure, 
never fail to inspire. Though the experience of individuals in cir- 
cumstantial things was very different, in essentials there was a 
remarkable sameness. All embraced and rejoiced in the gospel as 
a system of free grace in all its parts, intended to humble the creature 
and exalt the glorious Creator. In the course of this revival as 
many as fifty obtained hope of such a reconciliation to God. 
Among these were not a few of the stout-hearted, and such as were 
indeed far from righteousness. But in this day of the mighty power 
and sovereign grace of God, they were made willing and brought to 
bow as loyal subjects to the sceptre of the Prmce of Peace. The 
additions made to the church were between forty and fifty, and the 
more immediate fruits of this work of grace were a great external 
reformation, both moral and religious — ^^the prevalence of a spirit 
of brotherly love — and a great increase of knowledge as to the pe- 
culiar and appropriate doctrines of the gospel." It was indeed a 
wonderful work of grace. Oh that it might be repeated in our day! 
In April of that year, namely, 1816, the Rev. Stephen Tracy, a Con- 
gregational minister, renewed his labors on this island, having 
preached here the previous year. On May 5th, after divine service 
at a parish meeting, he was engaged to preach for six months from 
April 28th. He arrived in the midst of the great revival, and is 
accredited with accomplishing two very important matters for this 
church. "One was the gathering into the church of the fruits of the 
great revival of the winter of 181 6, and the other was the building 
of this sanctuary." Rev. Stephen Tracy was born in Norwich, 
Conn., in the year 1749. He graduated from Princeton College in 
1770. The same year he began his ministry at Peru, Mass., where 
he was ordained in 1772. Here he remained until 1775. Became 
pastor at Norwich (now Huntington), Mass., May 23, 1781, and 
remained there until January ist, 1799. After that he labored as a 
home missionary until his death, in 1822. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 95 

Without doubt the results of that great awakening of 181 6 had 
much to do with the erection and completion of the church building. 
True, it had been proposed and set on foot before the revival began, 
and considerable subscription and material had been gathered for it. 
Yet faint were the hopes, even by its best friends, that the project 
would be so soon accomplished, if accomplished at all. Such is the 
testimony of Dr. Woolworth. We need to remember that the com- 
munity at this date was still a small one, numbering only between two 
and three hundred people, and that for them such an effort was in- 
deed a great undertaking. But the coming of that gracious out- 
pouring of the Holy Spirit united the hearts and hands of the 
people in their purpose and inspired them to success to the de- 
gree that in a little over a year from the time of starting the 
work was completed. It was considered by all a great achieve- 
ment for this community, and has been so spoken of to me by some 
of the older persons in our midst. 

The amount expended in the erection of that building was nearly 
four thousand dollars. And now that it is finished we turn our 
attention to its description and dedication. For information con- 
cerning these things I must rely on the historical discourses that the 
Rev. Mr. Harries delivered in 1871. Speaking of the edifice he says: 
"It was fifteen feet shorter than what it is to-day. On each side 
of the platform were four seats. In front of it was a platform about 
ten inches high, on the outer edge of which was a paneled breast- 
work elevated nearly four feet, with a small desk in the middle 
directly in front of the pulpit, for the use of the elders when read- 
ing and of the chorister when singing. This enclosure was called 
'the altar' — as great a misnomer as to call Christ's ambassadors 
'priests.' There were forty seats before the pulpit and four each 
side of it, making forty-eight. The first range on the south end, 
consisting of four seats, were reserved by the trustees for the col- 
ored people, and the next range for 'any white person.' The body 
pews were assessed at $2 each and the 'long side pews' at $3.50. 
They were rented on the 20th of June, at a meeting appointed for 
the purpose. The attendance was very large and the demand for 
seats pressing. The four reserved free for 'any white person' were 
consequently rented. All but two were sold at a premium, some of 
which were forty per cent, above the assessed value, the whole to be 
cancelled at the expiration of twelve months, but next year it was 
to be paid quarterly."

Articles of Vendue Respecting the Sale of the Pews in the Meeting 
House on Shelter Island Agreed to by the Trustees, June 20, 1817. 
The sale of the Pews to be for one year. The Pews to be set up by any person 
at the price set on them by the Committee, and if no person will give any more, to 
be struck off to them, but any one has a right to bid and the highest bidder to have 
the Pew. 

The money for which the Pews are sold is to be paid at the end of the year, 
and it is expected the money will be punctually paid to the Trustees without putting 
the Parish to the expense of collecting. By order of the Trustees, 
SYLVESTER BERING, Clerk. 

"On the 17th of the following month, namely, the 17th of July, 
1817, the building was dedicated. It requires no stretch of the 
imagination to conceive of its being filled to its utmost capacity. 
As you enter you behold 'a sea of faces' upturned to fix an excited 
eager gaze on the sage, ministerial veteran in the pulpit. Dr. Aaron 
Woolworth. To the left of him on the platform is the 'deacon's 
seat,' or more properly the 'elders'.' There are seated the five ofifi- 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 97 

cers, viz.: Bering, Doughlass, Havens, Sherrill and Nicoll. The 
preacher rises in the sacred desk. He is elevated eight feet above 
the congregation, but he and they think it all right. It is signifi- 
cant of the exalted, heavenly nature of the minister and the office 
he fills. He announces the hymn, and directly a venerable form 
rises behind the little desk in front of the pulpit. It is the chorister. 
His hymn book is before him. He announces the tune, strikes his 
tuning fork on the desk, lifts it to his ear, and begins to sound a 
note or two. The 'pitch' thus obtained, a volume of melodious 
music fills the house. The dedication prayer is offered. Directly 
the preacher reads from the 126th Psalm: The Lord hath done 
great things for us whereof we are glad.' It is the text. The 
sermon is a credit to the head and heart of its author and a fitting 
tribute to the memorial occasion. That was a jubilee to this 
people." 

And with these lofty words the honored preacher of the occasion 
consecrated the edifice "as an habitation of the God of Jacob," 
namely: "Be it henceforth dedicated to God as an house of prayer 
in which His holy public worship in all its instituted branches shall 
be celebrated; in which not only supplications and the sacrifices of 
thanksgiving, repentance and prayer are to be offered up to the 
God of all grace — but the adorable name of the King of Zion is to 
be proclaimed in the preaching of the glorious gospel and the ad- 
ministration of the iholy sacraments of the New Testament. May 
the incomprehensible Jehovah, whose name is thus recorded in this 
place, graciously condescend to take up His abode here, and lib- 
erally bestow upon His people the blessings of His grace and sal- 
vation, during not only the present but succeeding generations!" 

While looking over some old church papers I came across the 
manuscript of the following hymn, which was composed especially 
for the service of dedication and sung at that time by the people. 
The author's name I have been unable to discover, thougih much 
inquiry has been made. It was certainly worthy of the writer and 
the occasion: 

Be sacred this sequestered place, 

These walls we consecrate to God, 
Who tho' He fills Heaven, Earth and space, 

Yet makes His churches His abode. 
Within this House may sacred prayers 

From contrite hearts, like incense, rise, 
And mental praise, with vocal airs. 

Prelude the musick of the Skies. 



q8 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Here free from passion, toil and strife, 

And every care that intervenes, 
May mortals pass the bound of life 

To meditate on future scenes. 

Here may the gospels, Heaven taught page. 

Be weekly opened and explained. 
While blooming youth and hoary age 

Imbibe its truths with love unfeigned. 

While conscience heaves repentant sighs, 

For sin aigainst a Holy God, 
May faith behold with raptured eyes 

Salvation in a Saviour's blood. 

Long may this building be sustained, 

A temple for the God of love. 
And children's children here be trained 

For glory in the World above. 

And now the Society was fully equipped for work. Org'anized 
and officered, housed in a new and noble edifice, blessed with 
quickening power, it began anew its activity in the service of Al- 
mighty God. 

The same month in which the church was dedicated the women 
of the Society, always ready and always willing, organized them- 
selves into a missionary society known in ithose days as "Female 
Cent Societies." These societies were so called because each 
member pledged herself to give a penny a week towards the objects 
of the Society. The Society of the Shelter Island Presbyterian 
Church soon came into touch with other like societies, and shortly 
after its beginning received a congratulatory letter from the "Fe- 
male Society of the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church," of which 
the following is an extract: "To the Female Cent Society on Shel- 
ter Island: We have lately received the pleasing intelligence that a 
Female Cent Society was formed on Shelter Island. Permit us, 
dear sisters, to congratulate you on this auspicious event, and to 
assure you that we most cordially wish you success and prosperity. 
May your members be increased, your exertions encouraged, your 
graces invigorated, and every efifort crowned with the divine bene- 
diction." This was gracefully responded to by Ann Willett Nicoll, 
secretary of the Shelter Island Society, as follows : 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church gg 

"The Cent Society of Shelter Island receive and acknowledge, 
with sentiments of grateful emotion, the united congratulations of 
the Female Cent Society of Bridgehampton. Permit us still to 
solicit the continuance of your friendship and interest in our behalf. 
Actuated by motives which encourage our hopes and stimulate our 
exertions, we look beyond the present to that period which may wit- 
ness the happy effects of the united endeavor of our present infant 
Society. Were our means now equal to our wishes, how cheering 
would be our prospects. Still, we rejoice and desire to be thank- 
ful in being made the humble instruments of promoting the cause 
of Christ, and advancing the glory of our Heavenly Father, who 
constantly surrounds us by the smiles of eternal love, and every 
moment brings renewed expressions of His goodness and mercy. 
Notwithstanding our privileges and distinguished blessings, both 
temporal and spiritual, few have been our charities, small indeed 
have been our exertions in doing good. We desire to feel hum- 
ble. May we all have contrition in contemplating these lamentable 
facts. We rejoice to hear of the general establishment of Cent 
Societies in our native land. We indulge the hope that they will 
still increase, that greater exertions will continue to be made for 
the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom. How animating the 
reflection that the time is not far distant when the spirit of Christ 
will reign in every iheart and all be united in the same glorious cause. 
It is a highly favored age in which we live. Even now the rays of 
the Sun of Righteousness are illuminating the remote corners of the 
earth, and subjects of the rich grace of God rapidly multiplying. 
How unceasing should be our praises, how expanded our gratitude, 
and may our benevolent efforts end only with existence. The Cent 
Society of Shelter Island was organized the ist of July, 1817. It 
consists of 34 members. In behalf of this Society, 

"ANN WILLETT NICOLL, 

"Sec'y." 

This church and community has always been highly favored 
with noble-hearted, whole-souled, spiritually-fervent consecrated 
women, of some of whom we shall have occasion to speak later on. 
We regret that the roll of that first Society and its list of officers 
cannot be here inscribed, but with great pleasure give the fore- 
going correspondence a place in our work. 

For a period of eight years after the death of Rev. Daniel Hall 



lOO Shelter Island and Its PreshyteriaH Church 

this church was without the services of a regularly installed pastor 
or resident preacher. Mr. Hall in his relations to this people was 
looked upon as their pastor, though never installed as such by 
proper authority. Still that was his relation to them, and is so 
recorded in the first book of records kept by the session, in which 
he is twice spoken of as pastor, one of these being the notice 
of his death, which is entered according to the following form: 
"Rev'd Daniel Hall, our pastor, aged 64, Jan'y 20, 1812." To 
him therefore may be rightly attributed the honor of being the 
first pastor of the Society now known as the Presbyterian Church 
of Shelter Island, the organization of which he effected and which 
stands as an enduring monument to his faithful and consecrated 
labors. During the eight years after his death the church was sup- 
plied with occasional preachers, some of whom served for several 
months at a time, as in the case of Rev. Mr. Tracey. Among these 
were the pastors of the neighboring churches. Rev. Dr. Woolworth 
of Bridgehampton, Rev. Ebenezer Phillips of Easthampton, Rev. J. 
M. Babbit of Southampton, Rev. J. D. Gardiner of Sag Harbor, 
Rev. Lathrop Thompson of Cutchogue. 

One of these, who I cannot tell, perhaps the Rev. Mr. Tracy, 
was small in stature though tall in intellect, for in a letter written by 
a Shelter Island lady who had moved to Connecticut, from whence 
she wrote to friends on this island, occurs this sentence: "Do you 
keep that good little minister there yet? I have not heard a better 
sermon amongst all our ministers and preaching than he delivers." 
And she had heard many in the Nutmeg State, having attended 
several of what was knov/n as "Association Days," when the min- 
isters for a certain region would gather and hold several days of 
continued preaching. During a large portion of those eight years 
the conditions of things on this island were greatly disturbed by 
the war of 1812-15, as we have seen, and doubtless was the cause 
of the delay in getting a resident preacher as successor to Mr. Hall. 
Religious matters, however, were faithfully maintained by the elders 
of the church, who had promised upon their ordination to maintain 
public worship on the Sabbath when there should be no preaching. 
And here a fitting opportunity presents itself of paying tribute 
justly due to the memory of General Sylvester Dering, the first 
elder chosen and ordained over this church. A man whose life 
was such a blessing to this place and people that he is rightly 
esteemed, if not the best and noblest of all men who have lived on 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church loi 

Shelter Island, at least second to none in these qualities of mind 
and heart. 

General Sylvester Dering was the second son of Thomas Bering 
and Mary Sylvester, and was born in Newport, R. I., Nov. 27th, 
1758. He moved to this island with his parents when but two years 
old. And here he continued to live save during the period of the 
Revolution, until the day of his death, Oct. 8th, 1820, in conse- 
quence of a fall from his horse fourteen days previous. The Hon. 
Ebenezer Sage, of Sag Harbor, who was personally and intimately 
acquainted with Mr. Bering, wrote the following beautiful obituary 
upon his decease: "Bied on the 8th inst. at his residence on Shelter 
Island, after an illness of fourteen days, in consequence of a fall 
from his horse, Gen'l Sylvester Bering, in the 62d year of his age. 

"Few instances of mortality have stronger claims upon the sym- 
pathies of surviving relations, friends, society and country than that 
of this worthy man. He lived not for himself, his heart was formed 
for the exercise of all charities of this life. In all the relations he bore 
to society, he cheerfully and conscientiously discharged the duties of 
a husband, parent, brother, friend, neighbor and citizen. His chil- 
dren and grandchildren will never forget the paternal care and ten- 
derness with which he watched over them from their childhood, and 
their surviving parent will mourn the remainder of her life the loss 
of a kind husband and her best friend. His extensive circle of 
relations and friends will, whenever they reflect upon the constancy 
of his love and attachment, not refuse to his memory the tribute of 
a tear. The inhabitants of the island on which he lived will never 
be guilty of the great ingratitude of forgetting the innumerable acts 
of kindness that they have for more than thirty years received from 
him as a neighbor, friend and counsellor; more especially the poor 
and fatherless, and those laboring under afflictions of either body or 
mind. Were they on beds of sickness, he adiministered to them as 
a physician ; spread their pillows and watched over them as a nurse ; 
consoling them as a friend; opening his purse to their wants and 
kneeling at their bedside and devoutly asking from the Great Physi- 
cian relief for their sufferings and consolation beyond the power of 
human aid. Under his hospitable roof the friend and the stranger 
were equally welcome, and the poor never departed empty. It 
may be said that Providence for wise purposes has removed from 
among us a truly good man. The writer of this has known him 
nearly forty years, in all which time he has lived his neighbor and in 



I02 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

habits of friendly intercourse, uninterrupted either by word or act, 
and does not believe he has said enough — not too much — 'Uay, not 
enough until he has named the brightest gem in the character of 
his deceased friend. He was a Christian, and a Christian whose 
belief and professions were made abundantly manifest by his works. 
His heart at all times disposed to do good, was warmed and directed 
to the object by the divine precepts of the gospel of his Redeemer 
and holy influences of His Spirit. The church to which he be- 
longed, and of which he was an elder and a deacon, will long mourn 
the loss of one of its brightest ornaments, and all who knew him 
will forget whatever imperfections they may have seen in his char- 
acter and remember naught of all his life but the many amiable 
Christian and moral virtues. For to few can that divine benediction 
with more propriety be applied: 'Blessed are the dead that die in 
the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
from their labors, and their works do follow them.' " Thompson in 
his history says: "With those who knew him best, we hazard noth- 
ing in saying that few better men ever lived. Benevolence and sym- 
pathy for the poor and afiflicted were the tributes of his character, 
and as a public man he executed every trust confided to him with 
fidelity and honor. He was Supervisor of the Town many years, 
a Representative to the Assembly in 1804, and for some time a 
Major General of the militia." While Brigadier General he issued 
the following order: 

Shelter Island, 16 May, 1809. 
Brigade Orders: 

The Brigadier General with peculiar pleasure communicates

1808, be no longer held in readiness for actual service, and in com- 
pliance with those instructions he with great pleasure avails himself 
of this occasion to present to those corps whose patriotism has in-

I04 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Rev. Mr. Harries, speaking of Elder Bering, says among other 
things: "We owe him to-day for the existence of this sanctuary. 
But for his contributions and zealous efforts to collect funds, it 
could not have been erected. He ardently loved and unceasingly 
labored for the prosperity of Zion. His influence in the church and 
out of it was unbounded." And Rev. Mr. Lord also adds this tribute: 

"General Bering was the son of a devotedly pious mother, one 
of the three godly women for whom it is said that Shelter Island 
was anciently distinguished. For many years previous to the or- 
ganization of this church he seems to have been the only religious 
man who took an active part in the religious meetings. Indeed, 
without his presence and aid there were no religious meetings ex- 
cept some clergyman was present." And here we have occasion 
again to call your atttention to a very pleasing coincidence, namely, 
to the greatness that characterized the men who were the original 
occupants of the positions of trust to which they were severally 
chosen. Our first Supervisor, the Hon. William Nicoll, famed in 
the annals of Colonial New York; our first Trustee, the Hon. Jona- 
than N. Havens, equally famed in the annals of the Empire State 
and Nation; and now our first Elder, General Sylvester Bering, the 
noble-hearted, saintly patriot and Christian. All honor to these 
men who reflect so much glory upon community and church. How 
highly has God favored these in the bestowal of such great and 
noble citizens. 

We can well imagine the grief of this community upon the death 
of such a man, the more so in view of the fact that just two months 
previous to a day another influential life had closed its career in 
their midst in the death of Squire William Bowditch. These two 
men were two of the original Trustees selected in 1785, and had con- 
tinued in office together almost uninterruptedly for all these years. 
Now^ both had been removed by death, and sad indeed were the 
hearts of this people over the loss of two such helpful men. But 
their cup of bitterness was not yet full. Another potion was to be 
added six months later when the Rev. Aaron Woolworth, B. B., 
passed to his eternal reward. For this eminent servant of God had 
fostered this church ever since the death of the Rev. Baniel Hall. 
He had been their councillor and friend, he had ordained their elders, 
administered to them the blessed sacraments, rejoiced in their 
spiritual awakening, dedicated their house of God, and thus in many 
ways endeared himself unto them. He died after a brief illness in 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 105 

the full possession and exercise of all his powers, April 4th, 1821. 
Perhaps it was to this celebrated divine that the lady referred 
in her letter from Connecticut, for Dr. Prime in his history of Long 
Island speaks of Dr. Woolworth as follows: "Though of small 
stature, and by no means of prepossessing aspect, he was one of the 
most able, discriminating and pious divines that Long Island was 
ever blessed with." One of the early elders of this church, all of 
whom were ordained by Dr. Woolworth — three at the organization 
of the Society as a Presbyterian Church and two subsequently — one 
of these five elders, Richard Floyd Nicoll, soon after his ordination 
as an elder in 1816, began the study of theology with Dr. Wool- 
Avorth, and was subsequently ordained a gospel minister by the 
Presbytery of Long Island, and in time became the preacher to this 
church for a short period. We shall have more to say of the Ruling 
Elders of this church later on. We now turn again to. the condition 
of things prior to the death of Elder Sylvester Dering, or to the 
beginning of the year 1820. In the month of April of that year the 
Rev. William Evans was invited to fill the pulpit for 'four months, 
according to the following minute: "Parish Meeting, April 20, 1820. 
Voted unanimously to employ Mr. William Evans to preach the 
gospel to us, and that we will pay him four Dollars for every Sab- 
bath he preaches for us or supplies the pulpit, he boarding himself. 
Voted that the trustees agree with Mr. Evans for four months — 
on the above terms and with this provision, that Mr. Evans be at 
liberty to take a voyage for his health when 'he shall choose, and if it 
is previous to the termination of four months, that he make up the 
time after his return." As no record of payment to the Rev. William 
Evans appears among the treasurers accounts, it is thought that 
this efifort proved futile, perhaps because of the ill health of Mr. 
Evans. Again the Society sought a preacher, this time in the person 
of one of their former elders, the Rev. Richard F. Nicoll, who in De- 
cember of the same year, 1820, was unanimously invited to supply 
the pulpit for four months for five dollars per Sabbath. He re- 
sponded to the invitation and supplied the pulpit during a brief 
period in the early part of the next year, 1821. The same year the 
Rev. Ezra Youngs, then a licentiate, was providentially led to this 
place and began about the middle of the year to preach to this 
people. He continued in this relation with slight intermissions from 
July, 1 82 1, to the middle of the year 1828. This is established by 
the records of the parish meetings and the more tangible and con- 



Io6 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

vincing proof of the payments made to Mr. Youngs according to the 
treasurer's accounts. I mention these facts because this is an en- 
tirely different presentation of things concerning those early days 
from what has been said about them by other writers heretofore. 
During the seven years of Mr. Youngs' ministry in this place there 
were occasional supplies in the persons of Rev. Mr. Wickam for one 
Sabbath in 1821, Rev. Abraham Luce for one Sabbath in 1823, 
Rev. Mr. Moody for seven Sabbaths in 1825, Rev. David Wilson for 
nine Sabbaths in 1825, Rev. Mr. Moody again for one Sabbath in 

1826, and the Rev. Daniel M. Lord in the fall of 1827, then a sopho- 
more in college, employed here temporarily as teacher in the public 
school. A person still living with us remembers the subject of one 
of Mr. Moody's sermons, now preached over seventy-three years ago. 
It was this: "Building on sand." While laboring here the Rev. Mr. 
Youngs was received into the Presbytery of Long Island as licen- 
tiate on the 27th of August, 1823, and precisely five years later, 
after having assumed the duties of preacher to the Cutchogue Pres- 
byterian Church, whither he went from here in the early part of 1828, 
was ordained to the gospel ministry, and there continued for nine- 
teen years his relations to the Cutchogue church, after wfhich he 
retired, but continued to live in the place until his death, August 
25th, 1876, his funeral taking place on the 28th of that month, so 
that bis admittance into Presbytery as a licentiate, his ordination 
to the gospel ministry and his burial all happened on the same day 
of the year. While serving as stated supply to this church he met 
her who was destined to become his wife. Miss Maria Nicoll, 
daughter of Samuel B. Nicoll, to whom he was married Oct. 4th, 

1827, in the church, the first ceremony of that kind said to have 
been held in this sanctuary. His courtship was prosecuted some- 
what under difficulties, not being acceptable to the parents of the 
young lady. One method resorted to in order to carry on their 
correspondence was for the bride-elect to get early to church and 
there slip into the Bible those epistles so dear to hearts engaged. 
These, upon opening the precious Book, would come into the hands 
of her intended. Mr. Youngs was a lineal descendant of Rev. John 
Youngs, first minister to the church at Southold. He was an able 
preacher, a graduate of Princeton University in 181 5, having as his 
colleagues the Rev. Dr. Chas. Hodge, the renowned theologian; 
Gov. William Pennington, of New Jersey, and other distinguished 
men in Church and State. After his graduation he entered Andover 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 107 

Theological Seminary, where he pursued a full course in Theology, 
and graduated in 1820 in a class of subsequent distinguished preach- 
ers and missionaries. He was licensed to preach by the Congrega- 
tional Association of Andover. His subsequent advancement and 
ecclesiastical connections have already been dwelt upon. That 
he had some wit about him is shown by the following incident. In 
his day upon this island there was no bridge spanning Chase's Creek 
as there is to-day. Consequently those who wished to cross it would 
either ford it or row over it. Upon a certain occasion Mr. Youngs 
and Squire Chase had to cross the creek on the way to the latter's 
house. As they drew near to the water the squire proposed to the 
preacher that there was no need of him taking off his boots and 
wading through the water, remarking: "You just get on my back 
and I will carry you across." This being agreed to priest Youngs — 
the title by which the preachers were known in that day — priest 
Youngs mounted Squire Chase's back and thus they both crossed 
the stream. As Mr. Youngs dismounted from his friend's back he 
said: "Well, Squire, henceforth you can never say that you haven't 
been priest ridden." At another time, after marrying a loving 
couple, and being asked by the happy bridegroom what it cost, Mr. 
Youngs repHed: "It is according tO' the kindness of the party." 
"Well," said the generous benedict, "which will you have, twenty- 
five cents or a load of sea weed?" "Give me," said Mr. Youngs, "the 
sea weed." 

It was during the ministry of Rev. Mr. Youngs that this church 
inherited through the death of Mr. Benjamin Conkling, in 1826, a 
legacy of $8,000. Mr. Conkling was the youngest son of Thomas 
Conkling, one of our Town Fathers; a sea captain by occupation, in 
which profession he had amassed quite a fortune. After spending 
the major portion of his life plowing the seas he returned to his 
native place to spend the evening of his days among this 
people, during which he was a liberal supporter of this church, 
contributing fifty dollars annually towards its expenses, and upon 
his death, leaving no family, having never married, he bequeathed to 
this church the above-mentioned legacy, which, added to the legacy 
of Brinley Sylvester, that had grown to be about $1,000 at this date, 
made a total of $9,000. In 1834 the following inventory of property 
belonging to the Society was made, showing that it owned personal 
and real estate to the amount of $9,500, exclusive of the church lot 
and building.

For one hundred and fifty years this community and church 
have enjoyed the help of funds in maintaining the cause of reHgion 
among them. Mr. Benjamin Conkling lived to be eighty-two years 
old. He died Feb. 21, 1826, and was buried in the cemetery in 
the rear of the church, where there stands a headstone with this 
inscription upon it: 



"In Memory of 
Benjamin Conkling, who died Feb. 21, 1826, aged eighty-two. 
It is but justice to the character of Mr. Conkling to say that he 
was an obliging neighbor; in his habits industrious, in his dealings 
honest. He liberally aided the cause of virtue and religion, and in 
his last moments bequeathed a large proportion of his property to 
the Presbyterian church and congregation of Shelter Island, for the 
support of the gospel."

Close beside this stone and the grave of Mr. Benjamin Conkling 
is the grave of his brother, Shadrach Conkling, who died in January, 
1827. It too has a headstone with a lengthy inscription upon it in 
singular contrast to that of Mr. Benjamin Conkling. It reads as 
follows : 

"In Memory of 
Shadrach Conkling, who died Jan. 23, 1827, aged eighty-eight. 
Mr. Conkling possessed a sound mind and excellent understanding, 
and was a firm patriot, a good neighbor, charitable and strictly moral. 
He owned, at the time of his decease, a large estate, which he be- 
queathed to his relations, who were all very poor, and among whom 
were seven orphan children. Posterity will decide upon the wisdom 
manifested in the disposition of the estates of these two brothers." 

I do not intend to go into the merits of this proposition. One 
can, however, read very plainly between the lines of these epitaphs. 
Perhaps this significant fact will aid "posterity" in forming a correct 
opinion, namely, that while both men were wealthy bachelors, the 
latter contributed but twenty dollars to the erection of the present 
building, while the former gave two hundred dollars and yearly hired 
a pew, giving besides fifty dollars per annum to the support of the 
church. But we look in vain for Mr. Shadrach Conkling's name 
upon the pew lists of those ten years which are still in existence.

CHAPTER VI. 

At the close of the Rev. Ezra Youngs' ministry, in 1828, during 
the last six months of which he preached here but a third of the time 
and two-thirds at Cutchogue, he was succeeded by the Rev. Jonathan 
Huntting. In September of that year the parish authorized the 
trustees "to make use of five hundred dollars of the Publick property 
to hire a Minister to Preach the Gospel unto us." Mr. Huntting had 
just ceased to be the pastor of the Southold church, his pastoral 
relation being dissolved on the 27th of August, 1828. To that 
church he had ministered more than twenty-two years, and now, at 
the age of fifty, in the very prime of his powers, God gave him to 
this fliock as their shepherd and leader. He here continued to labor 
until the fall of 1832, a period of four years, during which his labors 
were blessed to a marked degree. He did not change his place of 
residence, however. That still remained at Southold, from whence 
he came weekly to minister unto this people. On June 19th, 1832, 
the parish sought to induce him to take up his abode on this island 
by passing the following resolution: "Voted that the Trustees be 
authorized to allow the Rev. Jonathan Huntting the sum of four 
hundred dollars a year for preaching for us provided he will come 
on the island and live." To this proposition he declined, but still 
continued to supply the pulpit, in response to the action of the 
parish, to the following ist of July, when the trustees were instructed 
to "hire the Rev. Jonathan Huntting until they could procure an- 
other clergyman," presumably to come and live upon the island ; and 
to this end they were at the same time directed "to write to procure 
a clergyman to preach for us on trial." Mr. Huntting was a man 
of marked ability and power; in life pure and transparent, in 
labors devoted and successful. His long pastorate at Southold is 
in itself a high testimonial to his excellency of character and ac- 
ceptableness as a preacher, a workman that needed not to be 
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There are those living 
among us to-day who remember him with great esteem and warm 
afifection. One good brother in the parish of Franklinville, whither 
Mr. Huntting went after ceasing to serve this people, in speaking 
of him to me said: "Mr. Huntting was a wonderful man, a powerful 
preacher. I can hear him pray now (nearly sixty years since the 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 1 1 1 

time). He put his whole soul into it." The year after he was or- 
dained at Southold, namely, the year 1808, he married Miss Julia 
Sayre, of Easthampton, his own native place. How he met this most 
estimable woman and proposed to her has been told to me by the 
same brother, and will doubtless be as interesting to others as it was 
to me, for which reason it will be here repeated. The story is as 
follows: "While on his way to Presbytery, which met in that year 
at Easthampton, Mr. Huntting passed through Franklinville on 
horseback. It was the usual mode of travel in those days, and the 
route from Southold to Easthampton was by way of Mattituck, River- 
head. Canoe Place, Southampton and so on to the place of desti- 
nation. Reaching Franklinville, Mr. Huntting dismounted to pay 
his respects to Mr. Seldon Herrick, who at the time was a widower. 
Here Mr. Huntting met Miss Sayre, who happened to be at Mr. 
Herrick's on a visit. As Mr. Huntting was about to resume his 
journey, Miss Sayre and Mr. Herrick joined him, the lady intending 
at the time to return to her home. And so they started off together, 
Mr. Herrick and Miss Sayre in a carriage, and the dominy on his 
horse. After they had gone some distance and were crossing the 
sandy plains south southeast of Riverhead Mr. Herrick proposed a 
change to Mr. Huntting, he to ride the preacher's horse and Mr. 
Huntting to take his place in the carriage. This was readily agreed 
to, so Mr. Herrick mounted the steed and Mr. Huntting placed him- 
self alongside the fair and attractive damsel. Such close contact 
had its effect, for before long their friendship ripened so fast that the 
dominy proposed to Miss Sayre right then and there, and was ac- 
cepted. By this time Mr. Herrick, having become tired of riding 
on the dominy's horse, suggested to Mr. Huntting that they resume 
their original positions, which was agreed to and effected. Now it 
happened that Mr. Herrick, being a widower, was also in search of 
another helpmeet, and thinking the present a good chance to get 
one, broached the subject to Miss Sayre and proposed to her. To 
his great astonishment and discouragement Miss Sayre responded 
that while the dominy was in the carriage he had made a similar 
proposal and had been accepted. They were married Sept. 20, 
1808." 

Mr. Huntting was born Feb. 13, 1778, graduated from Yale 
College in 1804, returned to his native place and became an in- 
structor in the academy in Easthampton, at the same time prose- 
cuting the study of theology under the instruction of Rev. Dr.

Lyman Beecher, his pastor, and the Rev. Mr. Bogart, of Southamp- 
ton. On the loth of October, 1805, he was licensed to preach by 
the Presbytery of Long Island. As a licentiate he supplied the 
pulpit in Fishkill for five months in 1806. In June he began his 
laJbors at Southold, where he was ordained and installed as pastor 
the 20th of August, 1807. His subsequent labors have already been 
stated, except that he frequently supplied this pulpit after the close 
of his continued services in 1832. As for instance in 1834, when he 
preached for a month. Again in 1837 for a like period. Again in 
1842, when he supplied for two months, and in 1843, when he or- 
dained two of the members as elders in this church. During 
them all his home continued at Southold, where he died De- 
cember 30th, 1850. Thirty persons united with this church dur- 
ing his ministry, most of them being the gracious fruits of a 
mighty revival that occurred during the last part of 1831 and the 
early part of 1832. During that revival they held seasons of services 
called "four days' meetings," when various members of the Presby- 
tery would be present to assist the preacher in his revival efiforts. 
In all one hundred and thirty-two persons had by this date united 
with the church since its organization in 1808. The next person 
to unite with this Society was Mr. John Bowers, who joined by letter 
Oct. loth, 1833. He afterwards felt himself called to the gospel min- 
istry, and in time became a Congregational pastor, being ordained at 
Wilbraham, Mass., on May 11, 1856. He supplied the pulpit at Aga- 
wam Falls for one year. After this he was called to St. Johnsbury, 
Vt., where he was installed as pastor over the Third Congregational 
Church Feb. 4th, 1858, and continued to reside there until his death, 
just five years later, on Feb. 4th, 1863. 

Mr. Huntting was succeeded by the Rev. Daniel M. Lord, 
already known to this people, having taught school here during the 
winter of 1827-8, and at the same time supplying their pulpit and 
taking charge of the weekly prayer meeting. "That winter," says 
Mr. Lord in his historical discourse, "was memorable for two events, 
(i) for the burning of the school-house, with the loss of all the school- 
books, and (2) for a revival of religion, during which some fifteen 
or eighteen indulged the hope in the mercy of God. It was a work 
characterized by deep solemnity and pungent convictions for sin." 
At this time, as we have seen, Mr. Lord was a sophomore in Am- 
herst College, with his eye set on the ministry. Upon completing 
his college course he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church i 1 3 

where he pursued the study of theology for over two years. At a 
special meeting of the church, held Nov. 28th, 1832, the trustees 
were directed "to hire Mr. Daniel Lord to preach for us until the 
third Tuesday in June next, and that they allow Mr. Lord at the rate 
of four hundred Dollars a Year." 

In his historical discourse Mr. Lord says: 'Tn the fall of 1833, 
having been licensed to preach by the second Presbytery of Long 
Island, I visited this island and preached my first sermon in the 
schoolhouse, the church being closed while undergoing repairs. Mr. 
Huntting having declined to remove to this place, the good people, 
under the influence of that sermon, passing over all my early im- 
perfections, and unmindful of the proverb that a prophet is not 
without honor save in his own country, gave me a unanimous invita- 
tion to preach to them for six months." During the winter and 
spring of that ministry the word was accompanied by the mighty 
power of God. The Lord revived his work. The church was quick- 
ened and sinners were saved. Of the fruits of this precious refresh- 
ing from the presence of the Lord twelve were gathered into the 
church at one communion season, among them being the last of 
the aborigines, upon whose remarkable conversion we have dwelt 
in a previous chapter. At the close of the six months he was cor- 
dially invited to preach to the people for a period of three years, a 
longer period than had yet been named in engaging the services of 
previous clergymen. 

I am inclined to believe that the date of Mr. Lord's return to this 
people should be 1832 instead of 1833, and that for the following 
reasons. Mr. Huntting retired from the relation of stated supply to 
this people in the fall of 1832. In November of that year Mr. Lord 
was invited to preach "until the third Tuesday in June next." The 
following October, or to be precise, on Oct. 14th, 1833, at a special 
meeting of the parish the trustees were "authorized to hire Mr. 
Daniel Lord to preach for us three years, and to allow Mr. Lord 
the income of our stock." The same day the trustees held a meeting 
and "directed their Treasurer to settle with Mr. Lord and pay him 
what is due. Also to hire Mr. Lord for three years according to 
the Vote of the Society." What, however, confirms 1832 as the true 
date is this reference in Mr. Lord's own discourse, namely: "It was 
during my brief ministry that the session passed the following vote : 
'Aug. 24, 1833, That it be required of members of this church to 
abstain from making use of ardent spirits as a beverage and to make 
the violation of this rule a matter of discipline.' "

Mr. Lord did not serve the three years period as invited to do by 
the parish in its meeting- of Oct. 14, 1833, but continued only till 
the following May, 1834. In April of that year, after a searching 
examination in theology, experimental religion, philosophy, the 
sacred languages, polity of the church, etc., by Presbytery, then in 
session at Southampton, which he passed to the great credit of him- 
self and the commendation of this court of our church, he was or- 
dained April 16, 1834, to the exercise of all the rights of the gospel 
ministry as an evangelist. As Mr. Lord returned again to this 
charge after an absence of about fourteen years, we shall have occa- 
sion to speak of him again. Previous to his gioing away in 1834 his 
successor, the Rev. Randolph Campbell, at the time a member of 
the Theological Seminary at Princeton, was introduced to the people 
of this church and congregation. The introduction was mutually 
agreeable, and resulted in the following action by the church in its 
annual meeting held June 17, 1834, "Voted that the Trustees be au- 
thorized to hire Mr. Randolph Campbell two Years and alow him 
the use of the parsonag^e and four hundred dollars in money a Year 
to preach for us." "According to a Vote of Parish the Trustees hired 
Mr. Randolph Campbell to preach for us two Years beginning Last 
Sabbath in September, 1834." Mr. Campbell responded and con- 
tinued to labor here until September, 1837, a period of three years. 
He proved to be an able minister of the New Testament. His minis- 
try to this church was greatly blessed and owned of God in the con- 
version of many souls. Several revivals visited this people. On the 
17th of January, 1836, twenty-five persons were received into church 
fellowship. These were followed by a number of others on two suc- 
cessive communion services. Many among us to-day remember 
Mr. Campbell with tenderest memories. The two oldest members 
of our church in point of connection, Mrs. Glorian (Cartwright) 
Preston and Mrs. Frances H. (Chester) Jennings, joined the church 
during Mr. Campbell's ministry, on Jan. 17, 1836, now over sixty- 
two years ago. Rev. Mr. Harries speaks of Mr. Campbell as being 
"modelled after the Scotch type of the Puritan character, a good 
scholar, an ardent Christian, rigidly adhering to the rule of duty 
prescribed in the Word of God, and a very able defender and ex- 
pounder of its principles. He won and carried with him the hearts 
of his people, and even at this remote period his name is often men- 
tioned with respect and love."

Shortly after his arrival in this place he married a lady from New 
Jersey. She, however, lived but a few months after their union, be- 
ing stricken with death while in New York City in September, 1835, 
at the early age of twenty-five. He married a second and a third 
time, and at his death left several children, 

Mr. Campbell was born at Piscataway, N. J., Dec. 31, 1809; gradu- 
ated from Princeton College, now University, in 1829. He then 
became a tutor for three years, after which he entered Princeton 
Theological Seminary, from 1832 to 1834. Upon leaving the sem- 
inary he began his labors here. Like his immediate predecessor and 
fellow student at the seminary, he was ordained an evangelist by the 
Presbytery of Long Island April 30th, 1835, during his labors in this 
place. 

He was called from this church to the church at Newburyport, 
Mass., the church which is noted all over the world as the final rest- 
ing place of the remains of the great evangelist, the Rev. George 
Whitfield, these being deposited beneath the pulpit, where they 
have now reposed in the tranquil sleep of death for more than a 
hundred years. Mr. Campbell continued as pastor of that famous 
church for forty years, until 1877; then he went West to Nebraska 
for a short period, returning again to Massachusetts, in which State 
he continued to live until his death, which took place in Rowley, 
Mass., Aug. 9, 1886, at the age of seventy-six years. 

Mr. Campbell was succeeded by the Rev. William Ingmire, who 
was unanimously invited to settle here as preacher of the gospel 
with the promise of four hundred and fifty dollars per annum and 
use of parsonage as payment for his services, this action being taken 
at a special meeting on July 15, 1838. Who had preached here 
during the nine months previous to this date, since the time of Mr. 
CampbeH's departure, we cannot tell. That there were those who 
supplied during the months the records clearly imply. Mr. Ingmire 
continued to labor here for three years, but not with very encour- 
aging results. Plis services were attended with more or less trial, 
lit was a time of great financial depression, and the community felt it. 
Further^ Mr. Ingmire was the successor of a brilliant man, and suf- 
fered by the comparison. During this time the funds of the church 
were in jeopardy. No interest was received, and the means of the 
church greatly crippled. "The commercial embarrassment of 1836-7 
had well nigh dissipated the whole of the large sum given to the 
church by the late Mr. Conkling. At this distance of time, how- 



1 1 6 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

ever," continues Mr. Lord, "we can readily perceive that God in 
his providence ordered that loss in great mercy to this people, for 
enough of these funds were saved to answer the purpose of the 
benevolent donor to secure the object he had in view, viz., the giving 
of the gospel to this church and congregation. Left without a min- 
ister and destitute in a measure of the means for the support of the 
gospel, the church was cast down but not destroyed." Its spiritual 
life was also very low, only two persons uniting with the church 
during the three years of Mr. Ingmire's ministry, which came to a 
close the second day of July, 1841, Again the parish sought the 
services of "the Rev. Jonathan Huntting to supply us with preaching 
occasionally, for which they (the trustees) was to pay him as they 
could get funds, allowing him 5 Dollars per Day and pay his 
ferryges." This was on July nth, 1841, 

In 1842 the Rev. Anson Sheldon supplied the pulpit for five 
Sundays in June and July. His services were so acceptable to the 
people thait on August ist, 1842, he was unanimously invited to 
labor among them for one year at a salary of $400 and the parsonage. 
He accepted the call for his services and continued to labor here 
until June, 1847, ^ period of five years. The church once more took 
on new life. The things ready to die were measurably strengthened, 
and the congregation, according to Mr. Harries, was in a better 
condition when Mr. Sheldon left the parish than it was when he 
began his labors here. A number of souls were converted during 
his ministry, fifteen of whom united with the church, two of whom 
still continue with us, namely, Mrs. Rosina Tuthill and Mrs. Maria 
Beebe. With these there were two young ladies who were sisters 
that united by letter. They were Mary L'H. and Phebe D. Gar- 
diner, daughters of Samuel S. Gardiner and Catherine L'Homme- 
dieu, and descendants of Nathaniel Sylvester, the original settler 
and last sole proprietor of Shelter Island. These ladies lived with 
their parents in the manor house. Both in time and turn married the 
late Prof. Eben Norton Horsford, Mary L'H. in 1847 ^^^ Phebe 
D. in i860, Mary having died in 1855. Mrs. Phebe D. Horsford 
is still living as the widow of Prof. Horsford, who passed away the 
1st of January, 1893. Mary L'H. (Gardiner) Horsford proved to be 
a distinguished raiember of this church, and deserves special mention 
here, being an exceptional woman both in piety and talent. Her 
religious life was far above the average. She seemed to live in an- 
other atmosphere. Her self control and spiritual repose was won-

derful, so much so that one day her stepmother said to her: "Mary, 
haven't you any human nature?" "Yes," she rephed, "it was born 
with me, but grace has subdued it." One can read that spirit of con- 
secration and devotion in the following poem, of which she was 
the author, and which likewise testifies to her exceptionable literary 
ability: 



My native isle! My native isle! 

Forever round thy sunny steep 
The low waves curl, with sparkling 
foam, 

And solemn murmurs deep; 
While o'er the surging waters blue 

The ceaseless breezes throng. 
And in the grand old woods awake 

An everlasting song. 

3 

The spireless church stands plain and 
brown. 

The winding road beside; 
The green graves rise in silence near, 

With moss-grown tablets wide; 
And early on the Sabbath morn, 

Along the flowery sod, 
Unfettered souls, with humble prayer. 

Go up to worship God. 

5 
The sunset glow, the moonlit stream, 

Part of my being are; 
The fairy flowers that bloom and die, 

The skies so clear and far: 
The stars that circle Night's dark 
brow, 

The winds and waters free, 
Each with a lesson all its own, 

Are monitors to me. 

7 
My native isle! my native isle! 

In summer climes I've strayed. 
But better love thy pebbled beach 

And lonely forest glade, 
Where low winds stir with fragrant 
breath 

The purple violet's head, 
And the stargrass in the early spring 

Peeps from the sear leaf's bed. 



The sordid strife and petty cares 

That crowd the city's street. 
The rush, the race, the storm of life, 

Upon thee never meet; 
But quiet and contented hearts 

Their daily tasks fulfil. 
And meet with simple hope and trust 

The coming good and ill. 

4 
And dearer far than sculptured fame 

Is that gray church to me. 
For in its shade my mother sleeps, 

Beneath the willow tree; 
And often, when my heart is raised 

By sermon and by song. 
Her friendly smile appears to me 

From the seraphic throng. 

6 
The systems in their endless march. 

Eternal truth proclaim; 
The flowers God's love from day to 
day 
In gentlest accents name; 
The skies for burdened hearts and 
faint 
A code of Faith prepare, 
What tempest ever left the Heaven 
Without a blue spot there? 

8 

I would no more of strife or tears 

Might on thee ever meet, 
But when against the tide of years 

This heart has ceased to beat. 
Where the green weeping-willows 
blend 

I fain would go to rest. 
Where waters chant, and winds may 
sweep 

Above my peaceful breast.

This spiritually-minded and heavenly-gifted woman took cold 
one autumn day, out of which tetanus, or lock jaw, developed, that 
caused her death on Nov. 25th, 1855, ^'^ the early age of thirty-one. 
Like Enoch of old she had walked with God and suddenly was not, for 
God had taken her. But though dead she yet speaketTi, speaketh 
through this charming poem and a number of others equally ex- 
quisite that make up a volume of poetry entitled "Indian Legends 
and Other Poems," published the very year she died, and which she 
dedicated to her father, "as a slight testimonal of a daughter's grati- 
tude and affection." Let her name be enshrined forever among that 
galaxy of noble men and women given of God to this church. The 
parents of this saint were both members of this church, the mother, 
Mary C. (L'Hommedieu) Gardiner, uniting March 29th, 1829, and 
the father, Samuel S. Gardiner, twenty years later, on May 20, 
1849. He had a remarkable conversion at the advanced age of sixty 
years. It is said that when he experienced religion he arose and 
made one of the most marvellous speeches ever made, which is 
remembered by many to this day. He was an eiminent lawyer and 
politician. At the early age of thirty-one he had attained such 
prominence in the State as to be made secretary of the convention 
that formed the constitution of the Empire State in 1821. He was 
a very stately gentleman, tall, handsome and attractive, always wear- 
ing a frilled shirt. After his conversion he became very useful in 
the church, which he had already served for a number of years as 
a trustee, being a teacher in the Sunday school. 

We have now reached the summer of 1847 ^^ the tracing down 
of those who have served the church as pastor or preacher. Mr. 
Sheldon's services ceased in June, 1847. About this time the Rev. 
Mr. Lord returned to Shelter Island after an absence of thirteen 
years for rest and recuperation. During these years he had un- 
ceasingly labored as pastor of the Mariners' Church in Boston, 
and also as agent of the Seamen's Friend Society. His health 
had become so broken through these arduous duties that he was 
forced to leave the city, and in order to regain his accustomed vigor 
and at the same time provide for his family, he turned to Shelter 
Island with the purpose of becoming a tiller of the soil. Settling 
on Menantic Creek he was soon engaged in farming, with the happy 
result of restoring to him speedily his wonted powers. Again he was 
ready to go forth as a preacher of righteousness, and the Lord of the 
harvest as speedily pointed out to him what proved to be the last 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church i ig 

and closing field for his labors. This church being without a 
preacher needed a supply. It turned to Mr. Lord for the third time 
in its need. At first it simply asked him to tide over the going and 
the coming servant of God, whoever he might be, and so one Sab- 
bath in September, 1847, the male members were requested to re- 
main after the close of the meeting for the purpose of consulting 
"about getting a minister to preach for us (them), and they Voted 
Unanimous that the Trustees offer Mr. Lord $7.00 per Sabbath to 
preach for them until they could obtain some one permanently to 
preach for them." To this invitation Mr. Lord favorably responded, 
but upon the one condition that when they found a man of their 
choice to minister to them in the things of Christ he would step aside, 
and if still residing among them would heartily assist them in his 
settlement and support. Under these conditions he began his 
labors. The winter came and went. Each succeeding week 
strengthened the bond between them, until at last the church be- 
came conscious that the man they were seeking and that God had 
for them was the very man who stood before them. The result was 
that on Feb. 28th, 1848, the sense of the church was called for, in a 
meeting held in the school-house, in regard to calling Mr. Lord, 
not as a supply, according to the custom of the church since the 
death of Mr. Hall in 1812, but as pastor. The response was unani- 
mous, and the Rev. Daniel M. Lord was thereupon solicited to be- 
come the pastor of this church, with a promise of four hundred 
dollars per annum as salary. After much prayer, counsel and de- 
liberation he assented to their desires, and on the nth of April, 
1848, pursuant to notice given the parish, met in the school- 
house "for the purpose of making a call for the settling of the 
Rev. D. M. Lord as our pastor." The meeting was moderated by 
the Rev. Anson Sheldon, the church's previous supply. He opened 
it with prayer. But one feeling was expressed, all hearts being 
united in the desire that the great Head of the Church might ap- 
point the man of their choice to lead them like a shep'herd and be a 
pastor to them. After the prayer this formal action was taken: 
"Voted unanimously that we make out a call for the settlement of 
Rev. D. M. Lord as our installed pastor, that we give Rev. Mr. Lord 
annually the sum of four hundred dollars and the use of the par- 
sonage and three Sabbaths per annum. We, agreeably to the vote, 
made out a call for the settlement of Rev. D. M. Lord, signed by the 
moderator and the elders, and will leave it with the Presbytery of 



I 20 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

Long Island for them to decide on. Present at the meeting as 
elders, C. S. Loper and Horace B. Manwaring. 

"CALEB S. LOPER, Clerk." 

This call was committed to Presbytery. Presbytery then 
placed it in Mr. Lord's hands. He agreeing to accept, Presbytery 
constituted this sacred relation between Mr. Lord and this church 
on the 30th of August, 1848, by duly installing him as pastor of the 
Shelter Island Presbyterian Church. It was a happy occasion, in 
which both pastor and people rejoiced. The like of it had never be- 
fore been seen on this island. It was the first of its kind. Almost 
two hundred years had now elapsed since the settlement of Shelter 
Island. And while during that long period this community was never 
without those who feared God and worked righteousness, while it had 
been favored with the presence of those who were world-famed evan- 
gelists of the glorious news from heaven, while there had lived among 
them those who were accepted as the ambassadors of the Most High, 
one of whom was looked upon and acknowledged as pastor of this 
church, still to the Rev. Daniel M. Lord belongs the honored distinc- 
tion of being the first duly installed pastor of the church of the living 
God on Shelter Island. While mo'st of the former preachers of 
God's infinite grace were as "wayfaring men away from home tarry- 
ing as but a night," Mr, Lord's relation, now establisihed, was a 
permanent and abiding one; indeed, as we shall see in the providence 
of God, the relation was to last until death should remove him 
from all earthly toil to the heavenly land of peace and rest. As 
he has left on record the motive that prompted him and the condition 
of things spiritually that greeted him as he entered upon this pastoral 
relation, it seems eminently proper that the same should be repeated 
here, hence the following: "Permit me to say that in accepting the 
office of your pastor it was not pecuniary compensation I sought. 
If it had been my exclusive attention would have been given to 
the broad acres of Menantic. In this respect my worldly interests 
have suffered; without this ministry I might have been richer in dol- 
lars and cents. I knew this when I acceded to your wishes. Nor 
do I now regret it. For it was not yours but you I sought. God 
is my witness how I have longed for your salvation. I entered 
upon my labors among you in much weakness and through many 
discouragements. Twelve years had passed since God had blessed 
this church and congregation with a special dispensation of his

spirit. The church had become lukewarm. Some ol its members 
had backslidden, alienation of feeling had taken place between 
brethren, the cause of Christ was insulted and in some instances 
trampled upon. The youth were irreverent in the house of God, and 
in some instances forgetting even the common decencies of the 
proprieties of life. They were without God and without hope in the 
world. Their conduct seemed to say, 'Who will show us any 
good?' But God has been better to me and to you than we had 
even dared to hope. The fruits of my ministry is fresh in your 
recollection. Many of you were nine years ago the subjects of 
renewing grace. In that wonderful refreshing from the presence 
of the Lord you were made to sing of redeeming grace and dying 
love. The winter of 1848 and 1849 will be long remembered by 
this church and congregation as the season of the most powerful and 
extended work of grace with which this island had been previously 
blessed. I seem to hear one and then another saying at the slightest 
recollection of those scenes and those events, 

'Amazing grace, how sweet the sound 
That saved a wretch like me!' " 
You will see from this quotation that a mighty work of grace took 
place upon this island during the winter of 1848 and 1849. 

It was the divine witness of approval to the relation that had but 
a few months previous been consummated. God set his seal at 
once upon Mr. Lord's ministry to this people, and that favor at- 
tended to it to its very end, for one revival followed another during 
the fourteen consecutive years that he was privileged to labor here 
before the Lord said to him, "It is enough, come up higher!" As 
the result of that divine quickening in 1848-9, thirty-six persons 
united with the church on May 20th, 1849, now nearly fifty years 
ago. Of these the name of Archibald R. Havens, of saintly memory, 
heads the list. Only five of the number continue unto this day, 
they are Samuel B. Jennings, Mrs. John B. Bowditch, Mrs. Charles 
T. Chester, Mrs. Daniel Hudson and Mrs. Charles H. Smith, the first 
three still retaining their membership in this church. Nine years 
later another revival took place, and on May 4th, 1856, thirty- two 
united upon their profession of faith in the atoning work of Christ 
with this church, followed by nine more during that year, making 
the total forty-one as the precious fruits of that season of refresh- 
ing. This was followed by a third revival in the winter of 1857 and 
1858, mightier still than any of the many and the mighty that had 



122 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

preceded it. Behold what God wrought for this people! "It is 
the Lord's doings and it is marvellous in our eyes." Fully one- 
half of the adult population of this island, as the result of these 
mighty outpourings of divine grace, were the open and avowed 
professed friends of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of these still abide 
with us. They are Mr. Lord's spiritual children, his joy and crown. 
And so he labored with untiring energy and with marvellous suc- 
cess until the Lord strangely took him, translating him most sud- 
denly to the heavenly glories Aug. 26, 1861. 

It is no wonder that Mr. Lord has been so enshrined by this 
people in their undying affection that the mere mention of his name 
makes their pulse to beat more rapidly, their face to grow more 
brightly as in memory they behold the beloved face and form of him 
who led them so divinely. Few pastors ever wrought themselves 
into the very being of their people as did this dear man of God. As 1 
think of all this, how his radiant form adorns your homes, how his 
name is as sweetest smells to your senses, how in labors more abund- 
ant the power of Christ was so wondrously displayed, I thank my 
God that He hath appointed me as one of his successors in the same 
pastoral ofifiice, and at the same time invoke His grace to attend 
me that I may be faithful in this trust. 

His death, already referred to, was both tragic and sudden. It 
occurred on Monday, Aug. 26, 1861, while he was making prepara- 
tions for the comfort and entertainment of the Presbytery of 
Long Island, which was to meet on this island the next day. 
Leaving his home in a wagon with three of his children for the 
purpose of securing a sheep off his extended farm that was to 
be slaughtered and prepared to refresh the members of Presby- 
tery, he was driving along the road when suddenly his horse took 
fright at the noise of some boards which a neighbor was removing 
from one place to another, and though at first the animal seemed 
to be brought under control, it started again, this time throwing 
Mr. Lord from the wagon so as to strike on his forehead, inflicting 
what speedily proved to be a fatal wound. While lying prostrate 
upon the ground a wheel of the wagon likewise passed over his 
body, mortally injuring it. Neighbors near by ran to his assistance 
and relief. The first words he spoke were words not concerning 
himself, but his children, whether "those dear children had been 
hurt," and to "take care of them." Then he called for water and 
asked that a physician he sent for, at the same time saying that he 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 123 

must be bled. Loving hands did all they could for him, and then 
conveyed him to his home. 

He realized the fact that death was near, and so he said in a few 
moments after: "The Lord have mercy, I am going." Though 
upon reaching his home he showed some signs of consciousness, 
"neither the voice of his wife nor the kisses of his children could 
evoke another word of love from those pale lips. God had sealed 
them with a sacred seal. Twenty minutes more the husband, the 
father, the brother, the pastor, continued to breathe in the midst of 
his kindred and friends, and not a groan nor a sigh gave sign of 
pain. He fell asleep, and no struggle marked his sweet repose." 

"So Jesus slept. God's dying Son 
Passed through the grave and blessed the bed; 
Rest here, blest saint! till from His throne 
The moring break and pierce the shade," 

Three days later his funeral took place in this church in the 
presence of kindred, Presbytery and flock of God, to say nothing 
of the great circle of friends that mourned over his going, spread- 
ing over the New England and the Middle States, all stricken to the 
dust. And from that day until the present his sacred remains lie 
sleeping in yonder cemetery awaiting the resurrection of the just, 
whither tender hands and bleeding hearts bore them that mem- 
orable day in August, 1861. 

Never having seen Mr. Lord I cannot speak of him but from 
observation. However, there is one still living who' knew him 
intimately, and who in the providence of God was called upon to 
perform the kind and solemn office of delivering his funeral sermon, 
the Rev. Epher Whitaker, D. D., of Southold. It is from a printed 
copy of that able discourse, abounding with personal and exalted 
testimony, that the foregoing and the following quotations are 
given : "It would be impossible in a brief space to set forth even the 
main points of his character. His peculiar training and wide range 
of intercourse with other men made him at ease in any presence, 
but never erased one line from his features, which gave him a charm- 
ing individuality. He was always and delightfully himself. Having 
a physical frame of medium size he was able, through all his life, 
to keep it vigorous, sinewy and symmetrical, and even now, on his 
lifeless face, we may trace the fair lines of that manly beauty which 



124 S licit er Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

the friends of his early years so well remember. He usually showed 
a degree of activity that would have utterly overcome almost any 
man. Closely allied to this feature of his character was another 
which made his home the scene of an unbounded and almost un- 
ceasing hospitality. His largeness of heart was vast enough to 
make him desire the welfare of every human being, and the fountain 
of his cheerfulness was a perpetual spring of delight to all who 
shared his company. His heart was full of kindness and love for 
every class, but it knew not the fear of man in any walk of life. 
He had a special love for the company of Christian ministers. 

"And how shall I speak of his virtues in the family — his tender 
love, his sacred truth, his wise forethought, his delicate sympathy, 
his unceasing devotion, his supporting hand, his protecting arm, 
and all those nameless qualities which made him, in so high a degree, 
the faithful husband, the judicious father, the beloved brother? 

"It was Mr. Lord's high and keen sense ol moral responsibility, 
as well as his great love for all his fellow-men, that often called him 
away from his home. What zeal and power has he not shown in 
staying the waste and the woe inflicted by the scourge of intemper- 
ance? What village of the county has not been thrilled by his 
startling pictures and carried to unknown heights of enthusiasm 
by the flood of his manly eloquence? Yes, we have heard from his 
lips an eloquence which came not from the schools. He was no 
surface reformer. He laid the foundation of all his work on the 
solid rock of religion. This was one source of his excellence as a 
minister of God's word. He had his own style of preaching, and 
though it was all his own, it was nearer the style of the model 
Preacher, who uttered the Sermon on the Mount, than any modern 
invention or resuscitated antiquity used by popular preachers who 
make their names notorious in the world. He spoke as one having 
authority. Few men could speak like him in the use of this element 
of the preacher's power. His unusual success in the ministry is 
good evidence for us that God approved his work. Few so well 
deserved to be called Godlike. Few so closely resemble the Son 
of Man, who came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and 
to give his life a ransom for many." 

Loving tribute fitly spoken. Daniel Minor Lord was born at 
Lyme, Conn., April 9th, 1800. His father dying while he was yet 
a boy, he was placed in the care of a relative who was a prominent 
merchant in the city of New York. There he grew to manhood and 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 125 

experienced religion. Feeling called of God to the ministry, he 
entered the Academy of Monson, Mass., from whence he went to 
Amherst College, graduating in 1830. He then entered Princeton 
Theological Seminary, and there successfully pursued the study of 
theology, after which he entered upon his labors in this place. 
Being called to Boston, he left Shelter Island in 1834 to become 
the pastor of the Mariners' Church in that New England city. There 
he labored most successfully for thirteen years, until forced to retire 
in order to recuperate his health. While laboring there he was in- 
strumental in converting, among many others, the Rev. Mr. Jones, 
who afterwards became the noted chaplain of Sailors' Snug Harbor. 
This Mr. Jones was a sailor. One day he was sent by his captain 
over the side of the ship to do some painting. It was an exceedingly 
stormy day, the sea was so rough that no boat could have been low- 
ered safely into it. As he was painting he all at once looked up and 
saw to his amazement that two of the strands of the rope that held 
the scaffold were cut, and that what supported him was the remain- 
ing strand. His blood ran cold. Horror came over him, and the 
thought that arose in his mind prompted the question, "Jo^^s, if 
that strand had broken where would you have been?" And a voice 
that seemed to be plainly heard made answer, "Jones, you'd have 
been in hell!" It rang through his ears and kept ringing. He 
could not get rid of it until he had made his peace with God. He 
devoted his life to his Savior's service with the above noted success. 
And now in the starry diadem of Brother Lord in glory one gem 
shines with conspicuous brilliancy. It represents the conversion of 
Rev. Mr. Jones, in which Rev. Mr. Lord was chiefly instrumental. 
"For that one service alone," said the Rev. Dr. Theodore L. 
Cuyler to me, "the memory of Mr. Lord will continue blessed." 
One hundred and thirty-three persons united with this church dur- 
ing his third period of ministry to this church. At the close of the 
revival of 1856 the church had to be enlarged in order to accommo- 
date the people. This was accomplished in 1858 by the addition of 
fifteen feet to the length of the building on the north end, which 
gave room for twenty-eight more pews in the body of the church. 
At the same time the belfry was added, giving a much more churchly 
appearance to the building. These improvements were under the 
care of Martin L. Prince, George G. Penny and Marcellus D. Loper, 
who were appointed a building committee for the purpose of effect- 
ing these improvements at the annual parish meeting held June 15th, 



126 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

1858. The whole involved an outlay of about one thousand five 
hundred dollars. Upon its completion the enlarged and improved 
sanctuary was rededicated by Mr. Lord to the service and glory of 
God. 

Mr. Lord Avas twice married, his first wife being Miss Brown, 
whose mother, Mrs. Hannah P. Brown, was the author of that 
noted hymn, "I love to steal awhile away." Miss Brown lived but a 
short time after her marriage to Mr. Lord. During his pastorate 
in Boston Mr. Lord married again a Miss Eliza A. Hardy, of Chat- 
ham, Mass., by whom he had seven children. The mother was still 
living with all her children when we began the preparation of these 
papers. Two of the sons of Mr. Lord entered the ministry, a third 
became a prominent business man in Chicago, while two of the 
daughters are successfully maintaining a new educational enterprise 
in this State.

CHAPTER VII. 

Mr. Lord was succeeded by the Rev. Charles H. Holloway, who 
was invited to act as stated supply for one year. He accepted and 
began his labors in September, 1861. He continued in this relation 
until February, 1863, when he was duly installed by Presbytery as 
pastor. In this relation he continued until Aug. 2d, 1864, when his 
pastoral relation was dissolved by his own request. Mr. Holloway 
possessed great literary ability, and while the equal of his predecessor 
in this respect did not possess that personal magnetism of Mr. Lord, 
and so failed to meet the expectations of some of the congregation. 
By those who knew him his memory is still cherished with affection. 
He is still living and cherishes most highly the three years of labor 
he was permitted to engage in here. 

It was during his connection with this church that the present 
parsonage was built, and thus he and his family were the first to 
occupy it. Previous to this the parsonage was the house now owned 
and occupied by Mr. Edward P. Baldwin and family, and as such 
was in turn the home of the Rev. Randolph Campbell, Rev. William 
Ingmire and the Rev. Anson Sheldon and their families while 
these clergymen served the Society. The use of it was likewise in- 
cluded in the salary of the Rev. Daniel M. Lord. He, however, did 
not reside there, having his own home in Menantic, where Mr. Henry 
Walther now lives, and of which he is the worthy owner. The first 
parsonage owned by the parish was bought about 1834 with part 
of the legacy that Mr. Benjamin Conkling bequeathed to the church. 
It remained in the possession of the church until Mr. Smith Baldwin 
bought it about 1850. The Rev. Daniel Hall, who organized the 
church in 1808, and who lived and labored on this island from 1805 
to the day of his death in 181 2, made his home in the house now 
owned and occupied by Mr. Charles W. Jennings, while the very 
first minister to live and labor among the people of this community, 
the Rev. William Adams, had his home in the mansion of Brinley 
Sylvester, Esq. These then have been the various homes of God's 
servants who lived on this island while they labored here. Rev. 
Ezra Youngs made his home in Greenport, and the Rev. Jonathan 
Huntting in Southold while they served this Society. 

The successor of Rev. Mr. Holloway was the Rev. Thomas H. 
Harries, who came for the first time to this island on Saturday, Nov. 



128 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

19th, 1864, in order to supply the pulpit the following day. He did 
this with such acceptance that five weeks later he again occupied 
the sacred desk. The day was Christmas. In harmony with the 
spirit of that glad day this church gave Mr. Harries a call to preach 
for one year, at a salary of seven hundred dollars. The invitation 
was accepted and he began his labors with the first Sunday of the 
new year. Two months had hardly passed by when his services, 
having proved so aocepta'ble to the people, he was unanimously 
requested to become their pastor at the increased salary of seven 
hundred and fifty dollars, together with the use of the parsonage. 
The call was presented to Presbytery at its spring meeting. Pres- 
bytery placed it in the hands of Rev. Mr. Harries, who, having con- 
sidered it earnestly and prayerfully, accepted the same. Arrange- 
ments were made for his installation, and on the evening of the 8th 
of June, 1865, he was duly inducted into the pastoral office of this 
church by the following clergy : the Rev. Clark Lockwood, who con- 
ducted the opening exercises; the Rev. James T. Hamlin, who 
preached the sermon and proposed the constitutional questions; the 
Rev. Edward Stratton, who delivered the charge to the pastor; the 
Rev. Dr. Epher Whitaker, who charged the people, and the Rev. Mr. 
Knouse, w<ho offered the concluding prayer, the benediction being 
pronounced by the newly installed pastor. Rev. Mr. Harries was 
the third person to be thus placed by Presbytery over this church, 
and in that pastoral relation he continued to serve the longest of all, 
a continuous service of nineteen years, and then only brought to a 
close because of his failing health, which necessitated his retirement 
in 1884. He proved himself an able and efficient workman in the 
vineyard of the Lord. He too was used of God to the conversion 
of many souls. Like Mr. Lord's, his ministry was also attended with 
revival power and seasons of refreshing. More than two hundred 
persons were added to the church during his ministry. He greatly 
endeared himself to this people, and when in the providence of God 
he was forced to resign, through ill health, it was not without deep 
regrets that this church parted with him who had so faithfully, so 
ably and so long served them in the holy ofifice of pastor. What he 
was, both as a man and brother beloved in Christ, and as a bishop 
of souls, is best expressed by the following resolutions unanimously 
adopted by the church at the close of his pastorate: 

"Whereas, Our pastor, the Rev. Thomas Harries, on account of 
ill health, has felt it necessary to tender his resignation as pastor of 
this church; and 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 129 

"Whereas, We deplore the circumstances which seem to make 
it necessary for us to sever the pastoral relation with feelings of 
heartfelt sadness; 

"Resolved, That the twenty years of faithful service rendered by 
him to this parish have been greatly blessed in upbuilding our church, 
increasing its membership and creating feelings of Christian fellow- 
ship and good will; 

"Resolved, That for his ministering to the temporal wants of the 
poor and the spiritual needs of all, for the tender solicitude and 
earnest sympathy which always brought him to the bedside of the 
sick and dying, and for his exertions to ameliorate the condition of 
sufifering humanity at all times and under all circumstances, the 
members of this parish and the people of this island owe him a debt 
of gratitude which they can never repay; 

"Resolved, That in parting our kindest wishes will ever attend 
him as one worthy of our full confidence and highest esteem." 

Upon leaving Shelter Island Mr. Harries took up his residence in 
the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., where he passed the remaining days of 
his earthly life. He fell asleep in Jesus August 4th, 1888, aged 
seventy-five years. He was born in Wales on the 23d of February, 
1813, and came to America when a boy. At first he worked in a 
large printing house, Henry R. Pitney being his employer. Here he 
soon, by his zeal, intelligence and attention to business, became his 
employer's chief man at the early age of twenty-one. It was while 
thus engaged that he felt called to the gospel ministry and decided 
to enter the same. Relinquishing his bright business prospects he 
began his theological studies, at the same time preaching where he 
had opportunity. And thus he continued until he was twenty-four 
years of age, when in the month of April, 1837, he was ordained and 
entered upon the full ministry of the gospel. For the next two or 
three years he was mainly engaged as an evangelist, after which he 
became the pastor of Upper Aquebogue Congregational Church, 
and continued so for a number of years. 

Receiving a call from the Mount Sinai Congregational Church 
he moved to Miller's Place to enter upon the duties of that ofifice. 
While occupying the pastoral ofifice to the Mount Sinai Church he 
was largely instrumental in the establishment of Miller's Place Acad- 
emy, and for over ten years carried it on with advantage to himself 
and great usefulness to others. From Miller's Place he went to 
Northville about the beginning of the Civil War to become the min- 



I -20 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

ister of die Congregational Church in that community. Here he 
remained until he was called by this church, on Christmas Day of 
1864, to occupy its pulpit. He accepted, as we have seen, was 
shortly afterward installed as pastor, and served for twenty years. 
Altogether he was a preacher of righteousness for fifty years. Mr. 
Harries was married to Miss Joanna Van Zandt Duryea about the 
year 1839. For forty-three years they lived in blessed union to- 
gether, her death occurring in 1883 in the present parsonage. They 
were blessed with four children, named Thomas W., Charles D., 
Mary W. and Elizabeth. 

Mr. Harries was succeeded by the Rev. A. P. Bissell, D. D., who 
was recommended to this church by the Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Hast- 
ings, of Union Seminary, New York City. He preached on three 
Sundays in November, 1884, and at the close of the morning service 
of the last Sabbath in that month was unanimously invited to become 
the Society's stated supply for one year at a salary of one thousand 
dollars, the use of the parsonage and six Sabbath vacations. Mr. 
Bissell accepted and began his labors on Sunday, December 15, 
1884. He continued in this relation until May i, 1889. His min- 
istry was attended with the divine blessing, and various additions 
were made to the membership of the church. A blessed quickening 
in 1885 resulted in fifteen uniting with the church on Sunday, April 
2d of that year. 

Mr. Bissell was a very scholarly man, being the only minister of 
all who have served on this island to receive the degree of Doctor 
of Divinity, which was conferred upon him by the University of 
Vermont in 1884. The same year he received the degree of Doctor 
of Philosophy from the University of Leipsic, Germany, where he 
was a student from 1882 to 1884. 

Dr. Bissell was born in Essex County, N. Y. He gradu- 
ated from the University of Vermont with high honors. For seven 
years he was a teacher, after which he studied theology, graduating 
from Union Theological Seminary in 1868. The next four years he 
served as pastor, and the following four years as Professor of He- 
brew in Blackburn University at Carlinville, 111. In 1876-7 he was 
instructor in Hebrew in Lane Seminary. From 1877 to 1882 he 
served again in the pastorate. The next two years he spent abroad. 
Upon his return from Europe he began his labors here, and at their 
close became in 1891 Professor of Hebrew and Greek Exegesis and 
German in Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C, which high positio'U 
he still discharges. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 131 

Dr. Bissell was followed in the ministerial office here by the Rev, 
Benjamin F. Parliman, a. graduate of Princeton Theological Sem- 
inary, who began his services to this people as stated supply in De- 
cember, 1889, and continued them to September, 1895. He served 
the church with earnestness and consecration, and his labors were 
blessed with a remarkable revival of religion in 1891, the fruitage 
of which was the largest ingathering of souls into this church in its 
history, forty-five uniting with the church on Sunday, March 15th, 
1891. It must have been a memorable occasion. Two of that 
number have since been called to the assembly of the church of the 
First Born on high, Miss Leonora Ketcham and Miss Nellie S. Jen- 
nings, both young disciples of Christ, who were known and are still 
lovingly remembered for their holy zeal and good works. "They 
rest from their labors but their works do follow them." 

The former lost her life while bathing. But it was not in vain, 
for both the manner and suddenness of it made a deep impression 
upon the comimunity which is felt to this day. The latter's death 
was likewise speedy and startling, and being but a few months 
passed, is still fresh in our memory. May every one of their com- 
panions, who with them formed that great company on that mem- 
orable Sabbath in March, 1891, leave as positive a going "to be with 
Christ which is far better" when they depart this life, as all acknowl- 
edge concerning the two whose names are here given a place in 
these papers. 

Besides this glorious work of grace brother Parliman's ministry 
is conspicuous for the erection of the present commodious and at- 
tractive chapel. 

Mr. Parliman was born in Haverstraw, June 19, 1855, grad- 
uated from Princeton Seminary in 1887. The same year he was 
ordained and installed pastor of the church at Salt Point, N. Y., 
by the Presbytery of North River. He is now the pastor of the 
First Presbyterian Church in Haverstraw, N. Y., his native place. 

After Mr. Parliman came the present incumbent, the author of 
these papers, who was unanimously called to become the pastor 
of this church on November 17, 1895. The following January, 
1896, he was duly inducted into that sacred office by the Presbytery 
of Long Island, the following clergymen assisting: Rev. Frederick 
G. Beebe, moderator of the Presbytery, presided and asked the con- 
stitutional questions; Rev. Minot S. Morgan read the Scriptures; 
prayer was ofifered by Elder Schuyler B. Horton; the sermon was 



132 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

preached by the Rev, J. J. Dunlop ; Rev. Dr. E. C. Lawrence charged 
the pastor; Rev. Dr. Epher Whitaker, the honored stated clerk of 
Presbytery for over forty years, charged the people, and the newly 
installed pastor pronounced the benediction. Concerning his labors 
here it will be left for others to speak. He was born in the city of 
Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 29, 1858, and is the son of Jaicob and M. D, C. 
(Lehnert) Mallmann. Early in life he felt the need of a Savior and 
gave his heart to Christ. Entering into mercantile life he in time 
became the successor of his father in the baking business. This he 
carried on for seven years, when feeling himself called to the gospel 
ministry he disposed of his business and began to fit himself for 
the ministry, at first in Springfield, Mass., as one of the original 
students of the School for Christian Workers, now known as the 
Bible Normal College, and also under the instruction of a private 
tutor, after which he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, from 
which he graduated in 1889. During the last year in the Seminary, 
and the first year after graduation, he was minister in charge of 
Olivet Chapel, under the care of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian 
Church, of which the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D., LL.D., 
at that time was pastor, and of which church before entering the 
ministry be was a member. In that chapel he was ordained by the 
Presbytery of Brooklyn, October 23d, 1889. In the early part of 
1890 he received a unanimous call as pastor from the First Presby- 
terian Church of Newtown, N. Y,, which he accepted, and was 
installed by the Presbytery of Nassau on the evening of May 8th, 
1890, Here he continued to labor until the fall of 1895. While 
serving the Newtown Presbyterian Church he was honored with 
the great privilege of building one of the finest suburban church 
buildings in the country, through the munificent bequest of over 
sixty thousand dollars by John Goldsmith Paynter, Esq., deceased, 
to that Society. Immediately upon the close of his labors at New- 
town, N. Y., he entered upon his services here, in which he still 
continues. On April nth, 1878, he married Miss Hannah Matilda 
Robinson, daughter of Charles B. and Catherine (Babcock) Robin- 
son. Their union has been blessed with three children, two daugh- 
ters and a son, the latter, named Payson, passing on to the "Father's 
house" on Aug. nth, 1885, aged nearly eleven months. The names 
of the daughters are Ruth Robinson, now the wife of Dr. F. Everett 
Benjamin, of Shelter Island, N. Y., and Maria D. Caroline Mallmann. 
And here the writer wishes to make use of the privilege of rising up

and calling the memory of his dear mother "blessed," for he feels that 
to her parental faithfulness in religious training, untiring efforts for 
his welfare, and self-denying labors he owes everything under God in 
that He hath "counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry." 
Oh, that precious name of "mother!" how sweet it sounds! We s'hall 
meet again, dear mother. In the meantime may your "dear boy," by 
the grace of God, ever prove himself worthy of that care you so 
unceasingly bestowed upon him. 

We turn now to speak of some of the members of this church 
who have been an honor to it and who have stood in it as "pillars 
in the temple of our God." We cannot mention every one of them, for 
space and time will not permit it. If, therefore, any names are omitted 
that perhaps ought to appear, in charity let it be remembered that 
some things and some names must of necessity be omitted. Though 
their names may be wanting here, upon the Lamb's book of life they 
have been everlastingly entered, and have therefore become inherit- 
ors of the eternal glories. Earth's honor roll may be faulty, heaven's 
never. There even the least are remembered to such a degree 
that it is said, "Many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be 
first." At various times in its history this church has been repre- 
sented by her sons in the gospel ministry. We have already had 
occasion to speak of several of them. At the present time we have 
two such honored representatives in the persons of the Rev. Charles 
E. Havens and the Rev. Nelson B. Chester, who have been ap- 
pointed of the King to be "watchmen on the walls of Zion." 

The first. Rev. Charles E. Havens, is the second son of Stratton 
M. Havens and Lydia Ann Chester, born on Shelter Island March 
13th, 1850. Early in youth he felt the need of the Savior and sur- 
rendered his soul into the hands of the Appointed One for safety, 
being converted to God under the Rev. Mr. Harries at the very begin- 
ning of his ministry here. At the age of fifteen he united with the 
church on July 9th, 1865. Feeling himself called to the ministry, he 
began his preparation for the same first in the academy at Southold. 
where he was a student from 1868 to 1870. Here he was fitted for col- 
lege. In 1870 he entered Hamilton College, from Which institution 
he graduated in 1874. The next four years he devoted to teaching, 
serving as Principal of Mexico Academy, in Mexico, Oswego county, 
N. Y. In 1878 he began the study of theology in Union Theo- 
logical Seminary, New York City, and graduated therefrom in 1881. 
His first call was from the Presbyterian Church, Green Island, N. Y., 



134 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

where he was ordained and mstalled September loth, 1881. Here 
he remained until September ist, 1885, when he became the pastor 
of the Congregational Church of West Lebanon, N. H., which 
office he continued to discharge until 1893. In that year, having 
accepted a call to the pastorate of the Congregational Church in 
Newton Highlands, Mass., he removed thence and began his pas- 
toral duties to that people, in which he still continues. Brother 
Havens is highly esteemed by his brethren in the ministry, and is 
greatly beloved by his people, who constitute a strong and flourish- 
ing church in that suburb of Massachusett's greatest city. On July 
13th, 1 88 1, he was married to Miss Ellen A. Hall, daughter of the 
Rev. John H. and Julia (Gillespie) Hall, and to them have been 
born four children, named Ralp'h Edgar, Elloine L., Leon C. and 
Maurice H. 

Our second living representative in the gospel ministry, the Rev. 
Nelson Burdick Chester, was born on Shelter Island January 20th, 
1864. He is the second son of Charles T. Chester and Eleanor Jen- 
nings. His boyhood was passed in the manner usual to country lads, 
namely, of working on the farm in the summer and of attending the 
public school in the winter. At the early age of twelve he united 
with God's people in 1876, being graciously persuaded of the Lord 
to do so through the instrumentality of the Rev. Mr. Harries, so 
that that beloved deceased pastor was the honored instrument of 
turning both of these brethren into heaven's way and toward the 
holy ministry. In 1881, having decided to enter God's high calling 
as His appointed ambassador, he entered the Academy at Bridge- 
hampton, L. I., to prepare for college under the guidance of Prof. 
Lewis Hallock. In the autumn of 1884 he entered Hamilton Col- 
lege and was graduated with honors in 1888. The following summer 
he studied Hebrew at Chautauqua, and in the autumn of the same 
year he entered Union Theological Seminary, New York City, and 
was graduated in May, 1891. Having been licensed by the Presby- 
tery of Long Island in April, 1890, he was ordained by the same 
Presbytery a year later, and was at once dismissed to the Presbytery 
of Buffalo to take charge of Bethlehem Presbyterian Chapel in that 
city. In a few months this chapel was organized into a church, over 
which brother Chester was installed as pastor, in which relation he 
continued until the autumn of 1896, when, having received a call to 
the Presbyterian Church at Youngstown, N. Y., which he accepted, 
he removed to that place, where he still continues. On July 14,

1891, he was married to Miss Georgia Grant, of Cleveland, O., to 
whom have been born two children. 

After the teaching elder comes the ruling elder in the polity of 
the Presbyterian Church, and so we come to speak of those who 
have served this church in that high ofi&ce ordained of God in His 
word. We have already spoken at some length of the virtues and 
excellencies of our first elder. Gen. Sylvester Bering. We therefore 
begin here with Mr. Jonathan Doughlass, the second elder, who was 
ordained as such with Gen. Bering and Lodowick Havens on the 
27th of March, 1812, the year in which this church was admitted into 
the Presbytery. Jonathan Boughlass, together with Gen. Bering, 
were at the same time of their ordination to the eldership appointed 
deacons, and these two have been the only deacons in the history of 
this church. In this double capacity of elder and deacon, brother 
Jonathan Boughlass served the church for the long period of twenty- 
eight years "with fidelity and greatly to the edification" of the So- 
ciety. "He ruled well," and the church was not regardless of the 
divine injunction. "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy 
of double honor," said the Rev. Mr. Harries. "He shared largely of 
the respect, confidence and love of the church and congregation." 
He and his wife were original members of this Society. Mr. Bough- 
lass was a member of the building committee that had charge of 
erecting this our sanctuary. He was most faithful in his office, as the 
sessional records will show, constantly appointed by the brethren to 
plead with the erring and to the discharge of special duties. He was 
born in Waterford, Conn., and removed to this island about the 
year 1800. His worth was immediately recognized by the com- 
munity, being chosen to double office in 1800. He served in public 
office for many years, chiefly as school commissioner. Upon the 
death of his honored colleague in the eldership, Gen. Sylvester Ber- 
ing, he was chosen as his successor in the Board of Trustees and 
continued to serve until 1837, a term of seventeen years. His last 
years were spent in feebleness. Unable to recline upon his bed he 
passed away serenely and sweetly while sitting in his chair on the 
24th of September, 1840, in the seventy-third year of his age. He 
was the father of six children, one of whom, named Charles G. 
Boughlass, is still living, at the advanced age of eighty-eight years, a 
highly respected citizen of Sag Harbor, N. Y. 

The third elder was Lodowick Havens, chosen by the church at 
the same time elders Bering and Boughlass were chosen. These 



136 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

three were ordained together. Rev. Mr. Harries has left an ex- 
tended biographical sketch of Mr. Havens and of a number of his 
successors, from which I shall quote freely. Speaking of our present 
subject he says: "Mr. Lodowick Havens was born on Shelter Island 
on the 17th of January, 1774, two months after the passage of the 
Boston Port Bill by the British Parliament, and two years and a half 
before the Declaration of Independence. Like Timothy, he had 
been favored with the instruction and example of a godly mother 
and a remarkably pious grandmother, Mrs. Mary (Budd) Parker. 
The sacred truths they instilled into his tender mind, gently and 
habitually as the descent of nightly dew, leavened his entire spiritual 
being and exerted a plastic influence upon his whole life of eighty 
years. At thirteen years of age he prayed regularly in secret, and 
at eighteen obtained, as he then thought, a saving interest in the 
oblation of Calvary. But after a season adverse influences abated 
the fervor of his love and obscured the lustre of his hallowed light. 
In the closing year of the last century, when about twenty-five years 
of age, he was wedded to Miss Mary Annable. Soon after that event 
their attention was called to the subject of personal salvation by a 
peculiarly solemn and impressive providence. As his impenitent 
father lay in the agony of remorse upon the margin of the tomb, he 
summoned his children around his dying couch and warned them of 
the fearful consequences of deferring a preparation for death until 
a dying hour. He besought them with tear-bedimmed eyes and all 
the tender yearnings of a fond parent not to follow his example, but 
to seek an interest, without delay, in the Friend of Sinners. His 
spirit then took its flight to its eternal destiny, but his warning failed 
not of its gracious purpose. A younger son began at once to secure 
a preparation for a life of union and felicity with God. In fourteen 
days after his father's death that son followed his steps through 
the portals which admit us to an eternal state. The fearful man- 
ner in which the father died, together with the sudden and unex- 
pected death of the younger brother, were blessed by the Holy Spirit 
to the quickening and saving of the elder. His conviction of the 
evil of sin and of his own ill deserts was so deep and overwhelming 
as to compel him to deprecate unceasingly his self-righteousness 
and to abandon forever his former hope, and at times to discontinue 
his secular pursuits. While digging clams in West Neck Creek he 
was so tortured with remorse, with a sense of approaching judgment 
and of his own eternal ruin, that he abandoned his work. Prostrate 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 137 

in his boat he cried with trembling and tears for mercy. God 
heard his pleas and filled his soul with the raptures of pardon as he 
drank of the cup of salvation. He thus describes his delightful ex- 
perience in that glorious hour: 

'Oh what immortal joys I felt, and raptures all divine, 
When Jesus told mc I was his and my beloved mine.' 

"This change produced the ripened fruits of genuine piety for 
more than half of a century. During the first eight years after his 
conversion his religious privileges were exceedingly limited, for 
the ministrations of the sacred word occurred only occasionally on 
the island. His golden opportunities were like angels' visits to 
our earth, few and far between; still he held on to the even tenor 
of his Christian course. The organization of this church in 1808 
deeply interested him. From that period he was favored with the 
means of grace, aided in their maintenance, enjoyed their luxuriant 
spiritual benefits and developed their golden fruits in a life of un- 
blemished piety and Christian activity. For many years he was as 
metal in the crucible, and subjected to the fiercest fire of affliction. 
Thirty years before his death he was crippled by the incision of an 
axe into his right ankle. During the last sixteen years of his pil- 
grimage his sufferings were intense, so that he was confined like a 
caged bird to his domicile. Still he aspired with almost impatient 
longings to visit the Lord's house. His heart would devoutly ex- 
claim, *Oh, God, my soul thirsteth for Thee, to see Thy power and 
Thy glory in Thy earthly habitation so as I have seen Thee in Thy 
sanctuary in days of old.' But this priceless immunity was denied 
him until his remains — weighed down with the infirmities of four- 
score years — were brought here to be committed to 'the house 
appointed for all living.' He was eminently a man of Christian 
devotion. It seemed as if he made but one prayer in his life, which 
began at the time of his espousal to Jesus and ended as ihis spirit 
winged its way to nestle in His bosom. Christ was his only hope. 
His presence was his delight. It made his humble abode appear 
as the vestibule to his celestial mansion. His death was as peaceful 
as his life was happy. He fell asleep in Jesus on the eleventh of 
November, 1854. He was a Town officer for many years, serving 
in various capacities, mostly as Town Clerk, which position he dis- 
charged from 1828 to 1849, a period of twenty-one years. 

The fourth person to be elevated to the office of elder was Mr. 
Abraham Sherril. He came to this place from Easthampton and 



Jig Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

was received by letter from the Presbyterian Church in that locahty 
on the 27th day of March, 1814, just two years after the election of 
our first elders. The same day he was received he was chosen and 
ordained an elder over this church, something- rather unusual, and 
implying high esteem and great appreciation on the part of the 
church for the new comer. Doubtless his fidelity and usefulness had 
preceded him. His former pastor, the Rev. Ebenezer Philips, had 
the great pleasure of ordaining his departed member as elder in this 
house of God. Mr. Sherril was a man of sterling qualities, for which 
he was usually styled by the people "a good old man." He con- 
tinued as elder in this church for seven years, to the edification of the 
church and the glory of his God, after which he returned to East- 
hampton, where he resided until called to serve in the upper and 
more glorious sanctuary where they worship unceasingly Him that 
sitteth on the Throne and the Lamb once slain. 

Our fifth elder was Richard F. Nicoll, he being elected on June 
30, 1 816, and ordained at the same time. It was that memorable 
Sabbath when so many united with the church who were the fruits 
of that first and mighty revival of which we have had occasion to 
speak at length: 

"When heaven came down their souls to greet 
And glory crowned the mercy-seat." 

Rev. Dr. Woolworth and the Rev. Stephen Tracey were in the 
pulpit, and the sacrament of the Lord was the joyous feast. Shortly 
after his ordination, as has already been stated, Mr. Nicoll began the 
study of theology, and in time was ordained to the gospel ministry. 
As a minister he served various churches. At one time he carried 
on a private school in the tenant house on the Horsford estate close 
by the creek. At the close of his public ministry he returned to this 
island, his native place, and th'ere he continued to live until his death, 
in 1857. His earthly remains were deposited in the silent grave in 
the family plot a little north of this building. In 1809 he was mar- 
ried to Margaret S. Dering, daughter of Gen. Sylvester Dering. 
Their union was blessed with ten children. 

The sixth elder was Joihn C. Chester. He united with this church 
the same Sabbath that Mr. Nicoll was ordained to the eldership. 
As a church member he walked in the fear of the Lord to the great 
commendation of the church, who, beholding his good works, chose 
him to rule over them for four years after his union with them, 
namely, on the 6th of November, 1820, being ordained at the same 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 139 

time by the Rev. John D. Gardiner, of Sag- Harbor. He greatly 
magnified his office. Though never abounding in wealth, it is said 
he was proverbial for his hospitality towards God's servants, his 
house being called the "clergyman's tavern." One of the first mis- 
sionaries to the Sandwich Islands, a Mr. Bingham, preached in this 
church on the Lord's day previous to the sailing of the ship which 
was to carry him to his far-ofif field of labor, and while here was en- 
tertained at Elder Loper's house. He sailed from Sag Harbor, 
according to our information, in the ship "Thomas," and reached 
the Sandwich Islands in a most providential time, when the natives, 
through the failure of their gods to respond to their cries for help 
and deliverance in a season of great drought and physical suffering, 
threw their idols into the sea, and having no gods, were eager to 
hear the glorious gospel of the only living and true God. Mar- 
vellous was the power of God upon them through the preached 
Word. Between the years 1845 and 1848 the son of Elder Chester, 
our brother in Christ, Charles T. Chester, visited those islands sev- 
eral times, remaining several weeks each visit. He attended their 
religious services and was impressed with the solemnity and rever- 
ence of the worshippers, no trifling being engaged in by any of 
the large congregations gathered to hear the precious inestimable 
news of Jesus and His dying love for sinners. And now those very 
islands are a part of our own national domain and those idolaters, 
transformed and in their right minds, our fellow citizens. One's 
thoughts, in view of such things, find fitting expression in the words 
of Cowper: 

"God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform; 
He plants his footsteps on the sea, and rides upon the storm. 
Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill, 
He treasures up his bright designs and works his sovereign will." 
Elder Chester was a man rich in faith and full of good works. 
In him there was no guile. Always open in action, honest in speech, 
frank in dealing and true at heart, his life was an epistle clear and 
eligible, so as to be read by all men. And in return he was esteemed 
and loved by all who knew him, who mamfested their faith in him 
by actions of trust and confidence. The love of Christ constrained 
him to all faithfulness. Though in old age and weary with daily toil, 
his place in the sanctuary was seldom vacant. Distance did not 
hinder him in his weekly attendance at the service of prayer and 
praise. God's house was his delight, and when the church was 



I40 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

strained financially, he would step forward to do the humblest work. 
Literally, ihe would rather be a aoorkeeper in the house of our God 
than dwell in the tents of wickedness. As "J^cob served seven 
years for Rachel, and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the 
love he had to her," so Mr. John C. Chester served the church forty- 
seven years in the eldership, and it seemed to him but a brief period 
for the love he had to Zion, When fifteen years of age he turned 
unto the Lord, and for sixty-three years he was a worthy member 
of this church. He died July loth, 1863, at the age of seventy-eight 
years. He was a native of Rhode Island, from whence he removed 
to this place in his boyhood. He married Miss Nancy Cartwright, 
and to them were born a number of children, several of whom 
still continue with us. A son and a grandson, since his departure, 
have been called to serve as elders in this church, so that since 1820 
there has been, without interruption, a Chester in the eldership of 
this church. 

The next brother chosen to be ruling elder was Jeremiah Case. 
He was born in the "city," on Shelter Island. While visiting the 
South on business in 1816, he obtained a hope in Christ. In a short 
time he returned home and united with this church. Some fifteen 
years after, on the 13th of November, 1831, he was appointed a 
ruling elder and ordained by the Rev. Jonathan Huntting. His 
contemporaries esteemed him as a devoted Christian, whose godly 
life everywhere exemplified the excellency of the gospel and com- 
mended it to the world "as a faithful saying and worthy of all ac- 
ceptation." Though invested with the authority of a ruler in the 
church, he did not "lord it over God's heritage," but magnified his 
office by the exhibition of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the 
sight of God of "great price." He was "clothed with humility." 
Modesty was his daily habitude and meekness beautified, like a 
polished gem in a coronet, his whole life. But though free from a 
self-asserting, vaunting, demonstrative nature, he was not a weak, 
negative character, nor easily turned from the line o'f Christian duty. 
Though conciliating, he was neither vacillating nor pusillanimous in 
the maintenance of his own opinions. Though ready to yield to the 
better reason, he was firmly wedded to his own convictions, when 
justified by such reason. While gentle as a lamb and amiable as 
the exile of Patmos, he was still an earnest, laborious, self-sacrificing 
Christian, and a prudent, efficient officer in the church of God. 
When well stricken in years and weighed down with infirmities, he 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 141 

moved to Greenport to reside with his daughter. There he remained 
until released from the ills of mortal life. The Master called him. 
Happy death ! He went home to the banquet of love and the rest 
prepared for the people of God. He lived long, lor he lived well, 
and his deathbed was a field of conquest, for on such a battleground 
death itself dies. 

On the 3d of December, 1843, the church made choice of its 
eighth and ninth elders in the persons of Caleb S. Loper and Horace 
B. Manwaring. They were "at the same time solemnly ordained, ac- 
cording to the Directory by the Rev. Jonathan Huntting." These two 
brethren were true yoke-fellows in the work of the Lord's 'house, 
continuing in this 'happy relation until death called tihe former, in 
i860, to his heavenly home. Elder Loper was a native of Noyac, 
in the Town of Southampton, where he was born December 2d, 1802. 
At the age of eleven years his parents moved to this island. He 
experienced the joys of sins forgiven in the great revival under the 
Rev. Jonathan Huntting in 1831. Two years after he removed to 
Greenport to engage in business, and when the Presbyterian Church 
was organized in that place, Feb. 7th, 1833, -transferred his member- 
ship to it, being one of its original members. Here ihe remained but 
two years, when his business being destroyed by fire, he again 
moved to this island, at the same time transferring ihis membership 
to this his mother church. And here he continued to live until his 
deatlh, on the 3d of October, i860, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. 
Altogether he was a member of this church for twenty-seven years, 
and an elder for seventeen years. He possessed a strong, active 
mind, great decision of purpose, a large capacity for business, and an 
almost intuitive perception of character. He had only to look at 
another to reach a just conclusion respecting his moral wortlh. 
When be took a position in regard to any subject, however unpop- 
ular it miglht be, he was ready to avow and vindicate it. When the 
temperance enterprise was in its infancy, despised and sneered at, 
and not a few were predicting that it would die in its cradle, and that 
its swaddling clothes would be its winding-sheet, ihe rallied under its 
banner, and was the first on the island, hiring farm labor, who 
pledged not to furnish spirituous liquors to his workmen. This was 
a hazardous step, as but few persons would work on such terms, yet 
(he adhered to the right regardless of consequences. He was too 
ingenuous and transparent to be ever guilty of duplicity, low cun> 
ning or double dealing. He filled the office of Justice of the Peace 



142 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

with wisdom, impartiality and equity, and was as just to an enemy 
as to a friend. Society very generally respected him for 'his ability, 
integrity, piety and usefulness. He was emphatically "a. devout man, 
and one who feared God." This church ought ever to hold his name 
in grateful remembrance, for he toiled, watched, wept, prayed and 
sacrificed no little to promote its welfare. He "ruled well" in God's 
house, and is therefore "worthy of double honor." His death was an 
unmeasured loss to this Society, but to him it was like the freeing of 
a bird from its cage. His spirit, released from its prison »house, 
hasted away to revel in the bliss of endless life, w*here "the smile 
of the Lord is the feast of the soul." He passed from mortal sight 
"As sets the sun at eve, tO' rise in splendtor where 
His kindred luminaries shine, their heaven of bliss to share; 
Beyond the battlefield, he reigns and triumphs now. 
Sweeping a iharp of wondrous song with glory on his brow." 
Caleb S. Loper was a Town officer almost continuously from 
1824 to the day of his death, in i860, serving in various positions, 
from the lowest to the highest, being chosen five times as Supervisor. 
He was also for a number of years a Trustee of this church. In 1826 
he was married to Hepsibah P. Douglass, daughter of Elder Jona- 
than Douglass, by whom he had four children, one of whom was 
chosen as an Elder and in time became as distinguished for piety and 
usefulness as his father, in this church and community. 

The ninth elder, Horace B. Manwaring, was born in East Lyme, 
Conn., March 6th, 1805. When nineteen years old he made a public 
profession of faith in Christ and united with the Baptist Church in 
his native place. Nine years later, namely, about 1834, he removed 
to this island. Here he stayed until about 1838, when he moved to 
Gull Island, there to become the lighthouse keeper. This position 
he discharged for four years, at the expiration of which he once 
more took up his residence on this island, and continued here until 
his death. In 1842 he united with this church upon profession of 
faith in Christ. His views concerning baptism hindered him not in 
fellowshiping with those who dififered with him regarding that ordi- 
nance. He loved the fellowship of those wiho honored God and 
enjoyed the communion of the Lord's Table with them. In less 
than a year after his uniting with this church he was ahosen elder, 
and in this office served the church with zeal and wisdom for twenty- 
three years, or until his death, on the 19th of February, 1866, in the 
sixtieth year of his age. He was noted for his good sense and 
extraordinary prudence.

As a neighbor ihe was peaceful and accommodating. His friend- 
ship was warm and abiding, his integrity universally recognized, 
and his sincere piety undoubted. He was not subject to changes in 
his devout habits, but was "always engaged in religion." Judgment 
and prudence distinguished his administration, while his power in 
prayer and remarkable gift in exhortation made him unusually rich 
and edifying in his devotional exercises. His life was a testimony 
and his death a demonstration of the excellency of our holy religion. 
He approached life's closing hour calmly, 

"Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him 
And lies down to pleasant dreams." 

So serenely he cldsed his eyes on this fading, fleeting world to 
feast his clarified vision on the ever-enduring glories of heaven. 

Mr. Manwaring was the son of Adam Manwaring and Tem- 
perance Dennison. He was twice married, his second wife being 
Nancy A. Havens, daughter of Elder Lodowick Havens. He pos- 
sessed a wonderful gift of language, which he exercised to the great 
delight and profit of those who heard him testify of the goodness 
of God and supplicate the throne of grace. For many years he served 
the Town as one of its officers in various capacities, among them as 
Town Clerk from 1854 to 1857. Upon 'his death, in 1866, the whole 
community was overshadowed by sorrow in losing such a noble soul 
in the very midst of 'his powers, he being but sixty years old. 

The tenth person chosen as elder was Charles T, Chester, elected 
the 25th of January, 1856, and ordained by the Rev. Daniel M. Lord. 
Mr. Chester was the son of Elder John C. Chester, and was born on 
Shelter Island. He united with the church July i, 1849. I" iSg2 he 
was, at his own request, dismissed to the brethren. Being still a 
resident of this island we forbear speaking of his services and useful- 
ness to the church at this time. He is the honored father of one of 
our present efficient elders and of the Rev. Nelson B. Chester al- 
ready referred to. 

The eleventh elder was Marcellus D. Loper, chosen and ordained 
at the same time with Elder Charles T. Chester. Mr. Loper was 
the son of Caleb S. Loper and grandson of Jonathan Douglass, both 
of whom had served so conspicuously in the eldership before him. 
He was born May i, 1827, and united with the church January i6th, 
1848. He continued his membership until his death, December 
nth, 1895. As elder he served for nearly forty years. During all 
these years he was noted for his great love and zeal for Zion. He 
constantly had upon his heart the welfare of the church, and was a 



144 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

most devout Christian. There was not a position of trust and honor 
in the giit of this church to which he was not called. Of him it can 
be said that he fulfilled the exhortation of Christ to "Let your light 
so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify 
your Father which is in heaven." Being of such a pronounced 
Christian character the community gladly chose him, like the church, 
to almost every position of trust within its power, from the lowest to 
the highest. At the time of his death he was the Clerk of the Town, 
and in the church an Elder, Clerk of the Session, Trustee and Li- 
brarian of the Sabbath School. One can readily see from these how 
useful a citizen and member of the church he was. Well does the 
author of these papers remember the two visits he made upon Mr. 
Loper while supplying the pulpit of this church in the month of No- 
vember, 1895. Mr. Loper was at the time seriously ill with the 
illness that resulted in his death. In these brief visits he impressed 
me as sweetly resigned to God's will; firm in 'his faith, having the 
triumph over death that comes by faith in the Son of God. The 
second visit was on the Monday after the Sunday on which the 
church extended the call to the author to become their pastor. Not 
being present at that meeting, he assured me personally of his 'hearty 
acquiescence in it, at the same time expressing the hope of its ac- 
ceptance. The day after my arrival at home I received a letter from 
him, written after my leaving him, in which 'he again urged upon me 
the acceptance of the call, and explaining that the reason why he 
wrote was that he felt he had not been urgent enough at the time of 
my visit. These things are stated here simply to show the good, 
earnest character of the man who, though dangerously ill and near 
his death, lest ihe should not have been urgent enough pens his mes- 
sage to make sure of it. That letter is sweetly treasured, for the 
hand that penned it was soon struck with death, and the first service 
devolving upon the pastor elect the day after his arrival to take up 
his residence and work upon this island was the funeral service of 
this faithful soul. And in his going another soul was fixed in its 
eternal state among the multitude that have gone up to glory and the 
Father's house from this community and church. Hcxw large a 
company has already gathered on that Shining Shore. As a testi- 
monial to his worth the following is a part of what was entered upon 
the sessional records : 

"Whereas, Our Heavenly Father has taken from among us in 
the person of Marcellus D. Loper one whom we had learned to love 
and respect, whose counsel we sought and whose commendation we 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 145 

prized, the session feels called upon at this time to recognize the 
faithfulness with which he served tihe church and to pay a tribute to 
his memory. Therefore be it 

"Resolved, That in the removal of our Senior Elder, M. D. Loper, 
from the scenes of his earthly activity our church has lost a most 
faithful servant, the cause of Christ a valiant champion and the com- 
munity at large a valuable citizen. 

"For forty years he has stood in the front ranks of our church 
workers, his whole life bound up in the welfare of the church militant, 
a firm defender of 'the faitlh once delivered to the saints.' Through 
this devotion to the cause of Christ we feel it can be said of him as of 
one of old, 'He being dead yet speaketh.' " 

In 1858 Elder Loper was married to Mary S. Horton, who sur- 
vives him. They were blessed with three sons, all of wthom grew to 
manhood and are still living. 

Archibald R. Havens was the twelfth person selected as Elder, 
being chosen April 23, 1865, and ordained by the Rev. Mr. Harries 
on the following nth of June. Mr. Havens was born on this island 
Oct. 9th, 18 r6, to Obadiah and Nancy (Robinson) Havens. On May 
20th, 1849, '^s united with the church, and continued as a member 
until his death, Nov. 20tlh, 1894, a period of forty-five years. Con- 
cerning him it IS the universal testimony of those who knew 'him that 
you cannot say too much about his noble Christian character. He 
was a model among men, always looked up to and highly esteemed, 
implicitly trusted, a saint on earth. One who ever ihad a word for 
Jesus. Carrying on a country store, he would follow bis customers 
to the door to drop a word concerning the Savior and His dying 
love for men. He was indeed a remarkable man. Faithful in at- 
tendance upon the state means of grace of the sa:nctuary and ever 
ready to testify for Jesus. He cherished the words and oft repeated 
them that "They that feared the Lord spake often one to another; 
and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a book of remembrance 
was written before Him for them that feared the Lord and that 
thought on His name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of 
Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels, and I will spare them 
as a man spareth 'his own son that serveth him." He was constantly 
encouraging others into the Kingdom, and was instrumental in 
cheering at least one soul on to the Savior who is now an honored 
Elder of this church. How many such jewels are set in his im- 
mortal crown we cannot at present tell, but shall know some day, 



ia6 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

"When the mists have rolled in splendor from the beauty of the hills, 
And the sunlight falls in gladness on the river and the rills, 
And we come with joy and gladness up to the great white throne, 
Face to face with those that love us, then we'll know as we are known." 

Though full of cares at times yet never a word of discouragement 
did he utter. He dvN^elt upon the innumerable promises of the Most 
High. They were to him as a sweet morsel rolled under the tongue. 
Like one of old, he esteemed the Word of God more than :his neces- 
sary food. And as he lay upon his bed in his last illness in a state of 
coma those that sat beside him heard him repeating those everlasting 
and abiding promises upon which his soul was fixed. They were 
his comfort in the death valley. His parting words, repeated a 
number of times, were "I'm going home, I'm going home," and his 
spirit left its earthly tabernacle to occupy the "building of God, an 
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." 

Mr. Havens was postmaster of Shelter Island for nearly fifty 
years, one of the longest terms of office on record in the Postal De- 
partment of these United States. In 1839 ^e married Miss Caroline 
A. Hughes, by whom he had six children. 

Our thirteenth elder, chosen and ordained with Elder Havens in 
1865, was Horace G. Manwaring, the son of Elder Horace B. and 
Nancy (Havens) Manwaring, born on Nov. 21, 1838, and died Sept. 
18, 1883. He continued as an elder of this church about three years, 
when he moved to Westfield, Mass. During his short term as Elder 
of this church he served with great credit, being a young man of 
good parts and ability. It was therefore with sorrow and reluctance 
that the church parted with this young servant when Providence 
removed him to another place. He died at the early age of forty-five 
years. 

On Dec. 7, 1872, the church elected its fourteenth, fifteenth r.nd 
sixteenth elders in the persons of Benjamin C. Cartwright, Timothy 
P. Congdon and Smith Baldwin, These three were ordained on 
Jan. 12, 1873, by the Rev. Mr, Harries, who devoted the entire 
service that Sabbath morning to the consideration of the office of 
elder and its duties. The first of the three above mentioned brethren 
was the last to leave this earth, the order of their departure being just 
the reverse of their selection. Benjamin C. Cartwright, our four- 
teenth elder, was a native of Shelter Island, born May 13th, 1815, of 
George and Lucretia (Conkling) Cartwright. He passed triumph- 
antly away on Dec, nth, 1896, in his eighty-second year. For more 
than fifty years >he was a conspicuous member of this church. All 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 147 

who knew him honored him. In early hfe he followed the sea, mak- 
ing a number of voyages in a whaler. In this profession he early at- 
tained a position of responsibility, becoming commander of the ship. 
Here his life was conspicuous for at least one thing, namely, he 
never resorted to the use of oaths or profane language of any kind, 
so general a custom among seamen. His mouth was clean; no 
corrupt communication proceeded from between his lips. After re- 
tiring from the pursuit of the whale he established himself in business 
of various kinds in turn on this island. Soon his services were 
called upon in town affairs and 'he was chosen to public office. 

And nearly to the time of his death did he continue in office, 
serving the town in almost every capacity, among them as Super- 
visor, for thirteen years. He was a man who stood firm for his 
principles, never compromising with evil but always true to his God. 
He could no more be turned by bribery or intimidation from what he 
esteemed to be right than you could turn the sun from out its course. 
He illustrated in all its truth the saying, now a maxim, "An honest 
man is the noblest work of God." Would that all the men of our 
community were of his noble, faithful spirit! Never did his pastor 
want for an attentive, inspiring listener so long as he remained with 
the church militant. One had but tO' turn his eye in his direction 
when it would be cheered by his encouraging countenance. And 
the warm grasp of the hand at the close of the service was a silent 
"God bless you, my pastor," that cannot easily be forgotten. That 
hand was constantly extended in doing good. He was the poor 
man's friend. His generous soul led him to sacrifice himself for the 
welfare of others. "He went about doing good," and when he came 
to leave this earth God took care that this devoted servant should 
have one of the sweetest departures ever granted to mortal man. It 
was the nearest approach to Enoch's translation that 'has ever come 
under our notice. "He walked with God, and was not for God took 
him." Conscious almost to the very last moment, speaking with the 
loved ones around his dying bed, telling his children of the happy 
meeting with mother who had gone on some eight years before, and 
in all confidence of his being brought into the desired haven, his 
final words were "Safe into port." Then he closed his eyes in that 
sleep which knows no waking here but which is the sweetest of all 
sleeps, a repose upon the breast of Jesus, and devout men carried 
him tO' his burial as they carried Stephen, and made great lamenta- 
tions over him because "a prince and a great man had fallen in Israel." 



148 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

As a tribute to his memory the following resolutions were 
spread upon the sessional minutes : 

"Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to take from 
among- us, in the person of Elder Benjamin C. Cartwright, a brother 
in the Lord, whose fidelity through an unusually long term of service 
entitled him to be considered by his fellow men as holding a first 
place among those who love our Lord and strove to do His will. 
Therefore be it 

"Resolved, That by the removal of Elder Cartwright from the 
scenes of 'his earthly labors the Presbyterian Church of Shelter 
Island loses an honorable member, a faithful servant and an efficient 
officer, one deeply interested in all that concerned the church, both in 
spiritual and temporal lines, well fitted for service in the former by 
his simple faitth, his hopeful courage and his charitable judgment of 
others ; and for the latter by his natural ability, the experience gained 
in a long business career and the openi-handed liberality with which 
he responded to all appeals made for the needs of the church. 

"Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to the 'bereaved family 
of our departed brother with the assurance that we share their sor- 
row in the loss of a beloved father and a faithful and wise counsellor, 
consoled, however, by the knowled'ge that while we miss his familiar 
form from among us his life remains among us and that we can 
apply to him that most glorious testimony received from heaven, 
'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, 
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works 
do follow them.' " 

Brother Cartwright was married in 1838 to Hannah Maria 
Tuthill, and unto them were born ten children. Two of his sons were 
in time chosen by the churoh as elders. He was most happy in his 
domestic relations, surrounded as he was by a large family of chil- 
dren, grandchildren and great grandchildren, all devotedly attached 
to this dear old servant of God, this grand old man. 

"Servant of God, well done! Soldier of Christ, well done! 

Rest from thy loved employ; Praise be thy new employ; 

The battle fought, the victory won, And while eternal ages run. 

Enter thy Master's joy! Rest in thy Saviour's joy!" 

Mr. Timothy P. Congdon was the fifteenth elder dhosen by this 
church. Early in life he surrendered ihimself into the hands of the 
Savior with the purpose to be his as long as fife should last, and this 
vow he kept religiously until his death Jan. 6th, 1888. At the age 



■Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 149 

of seventeen he united with this church. He was a member of the 
church for nearly fifty-five years and an elder for fifteen years. 
At one time in life he had the ministry in view, and to that end en- 
tered Amherst College. He was, however, providentially turned 
from this purpose, and passed his life on this island cultivating the 
farm inherited from his father. He was a man who possessed 
natural gifts of unusual power, among them a fine voice, which 
he knew how to use with great effect in oratory. Being of an 
emotional temperament, there were times when his soul would 
mount, as it were, into the third heaven, and the strain would become 
so great that he would have to desist from attending services in sea- 
sons of revival, so strongly did they appeal to him. Having a large 
home, he freely opened and ofifered it for prayer meetings and other 
religious services. He vcas constant in his attendance upon the 
sanctuary, and ready Vv^ith his services when called upon. His 
testimonies and his prayers were listened to and united in with de- 
light and profit. He taught the Word of God to the young and 
served as superintendent of the Sabbath school. He was a man 
well versed in scripture and could use it with great effectiveness. 

Mr. Congdon was born at South Kingston, R. I., on May 20, 
181 5, of Joseph and Elizabeth (Peckham) Congdon. At the age of 
eleven years he removed with his parents to this island. Here he 
married Miss Amanda A. Bennet, daughter of Lewis L. and Asenath 
(Wright) Bennet, a very earnest Christian woman, on the 29th of 
October, 1843. To them were born seven children, several of whom 
are our most worthy members at the present time. 

The sixteenth elder was Mr. Smith Baldwin. He united with 
the church in July, 1856, and died on June 23, 1884, at the age 
of sixty-eight years. In early life he sailed the seas, and in time 
became a sea captain in the whaling industry. In one of his 
voyages, while touching at itihe island of St. Helena, his wife gave 
birth to their first child, a daughter, who was named Ella Carroll 
Baldwin, after the daughter of the Governor of the island. Re- 
tiring from a seaman's life, he carried on for a number of years the 
milling business in the old Dutch mill. Upon his conversion in the 
great revival of 1856 he became a most devout follower of Christ. 
In speaking of him recently with one who knew him well it was said, 
"You can say everything that is good of this man and yet not say 
too much." He was a most conscientious man, and rather than 
come short in any duty would perform that duty twice. Kind, noble- 
hearted and generous to a fault. Often would he be found in his mill 



I ro Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

on his knees praying to God for himself, his loved ones, his neigh- 
bors; yea, everybody, mentioning one after another in prayer before 
the throne of grace. He was a man of humble and devout spirit, 
untiring in his services for the glory of his Risen Master. So deeply 
conscious of the awfulness of sin and the absolute need of a Savior, 
of man's lost condition outside of the Lord Jesus Christ, that at 
times he would wonder whether he had a standing in Christ. His 
was more the negative than the positive disposition. While his 
saintly wife was just the opposite, so that the two together formed 
a most perfect couple. One day a stranger was being conveyed 
across this island, and as he was riding along he said to his con- 
veyor: "Does Smith Baldwin still live on this island?" Being told 
that he did, he said: "I wish you would take me to where he lives 
if it isn't too much out of your way, and I will pay you extra for it, as 
1 want to see that man because I have learned to respect and greatly 
esteem him. Early in life I sailed the seas with him, and it was while 
in the midst of an awful storm that I learned to regard him so 
highly. Things looked black aboard ship at that time. All hands 
felt fearful, but Smith Baldwin stood calm, self-possessed and confi- 
dent, and I could not help but admire him as he gave his orders to 
the men, all of which were readily obeyed, and if ever I learned to 
respect a man it was Smith Baldwin." It is needless to say that he 
was carried to his friend's house, and the exchange of greetings 
was so warm and hearty that the time seemed very short ere the 
evening was upon them. May the stranger and his honored captain 
renew their friendly greetings in the better land. 

The following minute was entered upon the records the day of 
Brother Baldwin's death: "Our esteemed brother. Smith Baldwin, 
having been removed by death on the morning of this day, we enter 
the following minute, namely : 

"With humble submission to the dispensation of God's holy 
providence, the session records the death of one of its members, 
Smith Baldwin, who departed this life on Monday, the 23d day of 
June, 1884, in the sixty-ninth year of his age." 

Mr. Baldwin was born in 1816 at Babylon, Long Island. His 
parents were John and P-hebe Smith Baldwin. On June 7, 1847, he 
married Miss Maria Cartwright, daughter of Anderson and Cynthia 
(Payne) Cartwright, a most devoted servant of Christ. To them 
were born several children, only one of whom, a son, Edgar P., lived 
to grow to manhood. 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church l^I 

What a remarkable body of men has God given unto this church 
as elders. How nobly have they served and what glory have they 
brought to this high office in the church of God. Besides these six- 
teen brethren the church (has chosen the following also as elders, 
namely: Winfield S. Gartwright, Byron Griffing, J. Edward Chester, 
Arthur S. Gartwright, E. Havens Payne and Scudder Smith, mak- 
ing 'twenty-two in all. These are all still living and rendering most 
efficient service. Of these the first, Winfield S. Gartwright, having 
removed from the island, has ceased to exercise his office in this 
church. He is, however, still an active elder, serving as such in the 
Presbyterian Church of Islip, where he now resides. He was elected 
on June 5, i88i, and ordained by the Rev. Mr. Harries the following 
Sunday, June 12, 1881. 

The three following Mr. Gartwright, namely, Mr. Byron Griffing, 
Mr. John Edward Chester and Mr. Arthur S. Cartwrig'ht, were 
elected elders on Nov. 8, 1891. At the same time the church adopted 
the rotary system of eldership in the place of the life eldership, which 
had prevailed up to this time, but now having adopted the rotary, 
or term system, these brethren were elected for three years, two 
years and one year respectively. Two weeks later they were sol- 
emnly ordained to their office by the Rev. B. F. Parliman, and they 
have continued in active service until the present time, being re- 
elected whenever their term has expired. On Nov. 2, 1896, the re- 
maining two brethren, E. Havens Payne and Scudder Smith, were 
chosen as the successors of Archibald R. Havens and Marcellus D. 
Loper, deceased. One month later they were ordained by the present 
pastor. Propriety seems to forbid any extended remarks concerning 
these brethren at this time. But the writer wishes at least to state 
that as a body of advisers and helpers they have been most faithful, 
considerate and brotherly. In all his relations with them he has re- 
ceived nothing but kindness and encouragement. The spirit of unity 
and of love has been the spirit of them all, making the relations of the 
pastor with them nothing but of the pleasantest kind. They have my 
highest regards. I esteem them for their work's sake and am ready 
to declare that thus far they have been loyal and earnest co-laborers 
with me in the solemn responsibility of the oversight of this flock of 
God, forming a body of elders of which the church may be justly 
proud. May God spare them for many years unto this church, and 
may they by His grace more and more magnify their office, as we 
feel this to be their heart's desire. And When their course is run 



ie2 Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 

may the portals of heaven swing open wide for the incoming, and 
may the King greet them with the words of highest praise, "Well 
done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord." 

"How beautiful it is for man to die upon the walls of Zion! to be called, 
Like a watch-worn and weary sentinel, to put his armor off and rest 
— in heaven." 

And here a tribute is due to the men who have had the care of the 
material things of this church; in other words, to the Board of 
Trustees, organized in 1785, and in continuous existence until the 
present time, a period of more than a hundred and thirteen years. 
The various members of this body who have served in all these years 
are tabulated elsewhere. The existence of this board antedates the 
organization of the church by twenty-three years. The congrega- 
tion for which they acted at first, however, properly dates its ex- 
istence from the building of the first meeting house in 1743, a hun- 
dred and fifty-five years ago. We have spoken of a number of 
these men to their deserved praise. And in that praise the present 
members of the board can justly be included for their wise, judi- 
cious and faithful service in looking after the material things of 
this religious corporation. The present excellent condition of the 
church's property, the freedom from debt and the safe investment 
of funds now in their hands proclaim their efficiency most effectively. 

There are still others who iliave been of great service to this 
Society whose names have not yet been mentioned. As we have 
already said, some names must be omitted. We cannot enumerate 
all those who have been conspicuous in this church for holy living, 
extended usefulness and Godlike character. 

One of them, however, must be here enshrined, because he has 
left behind him a name that is like precious ointment poured forth. 
I refer to Martin L. Prince, one of nature's noblemen, a whole-souled 
follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. A man whose consecration was 
a living sacrifice acceptable unto God. Who literally gave himself 
for the good of this community, neither sparing effort or money to 
bring about the largest results in matters and movements that ele- 
vated and refined. He was the most useful man in the whole com- 
munity. A leading spirit in temperance reform and in the cultivation 
of music, raising them both to such a high stage of effectiveness and 
efficiency as to make Shelter Island famous abroad in both of these 
departments of laudable and praiseworthy effort. How sweetly is his 



Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 153 

name cherished by the older portion of this community. In his day 
a notable trio lived on this island in the persons of the Rev. Daniel M. 
Lord, Archibald R. Havens and himself, Martin L. Prince. These 
were so conspicuous, each in his department, that it led one eminent 
man to remark that the Shelter Island community ought to be a 
very happy people with a "Lord" for a pastor, a "Prince" living 
among them and a "Haven" on dry land. 

All hail to the name of Martin L. Prince! And as regards the 
women of this church, as much could be said to their praise as has 
been recited of the other sex in these papers. Some have already 
been alluded to. Along with those already mentioned we enroll the 
names of Mrs. Thomas Bering, Mrs. Mary Parker, Mrs. Esther 
Case, three spiritually minded women who used to unite their pray- 
ers under the shadow of a haystack before ever a church was or- 
ganized on this island. Other women since then have carried the 
light of God aloft, as Mrs. Lucretia Cartwright, a remarkably de- 
voted woman; Mrs. Smith Baldwin, as remarkable an example of 
filial afifection and untiring service to both hig^h and low, rich and 
poor, knowing no creed or caste in her self-denying labors. Among 
the younger women there shines out the name of Mrs. Esther (Tut- 
hill) Loper with those already mentioned. 

But we must forbear, though many appeals come to us from 
Sunday-school and Young People's societies, from temperance or- 
ganizations and missionary bodies, pleading for a place and a re- 
'hearsal. Concerning each one of which a noble record could be 
given. Perhaps another hand will pen their immortal deeds. As 
the conclusion to this historical review, I am more than pleased to 
be able to give the following poem written by Elder Byron Grififing 
for the rededicatory services in 1897, and entitled "Hallowed 
Echoes," since it so beautifully refers to these varied persons and 
departments of work connected in the past with this honored church 
of God. 

I. 2. 

As stronger hands have from the past For as o'er altar, aisle and pew 

The curtain drawn aside, This sunset glory lays, 

And on their efforts borne us back Streaming across the wrecks of time 

O'er time's unchanging tide, From light of "former days," 

'Twould seem that angel fingers swept We catch these harmonies long hushed 

Harps long in silence lain, That once this temple filled, 

And woke from out the vanished years And throbbing hearts again respond 

Their sleeping chords again. To hearts forever stilled.

Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church 



How vast yet varied are the tones 

These hallowed echoes bring, 
What gracious messages they bear. 

What countless changes ring! 
They plead from o'er the sacred desk. 

From off this altar call, 
And from yon lonely gallery 

In tuneful cadence fall. 

5- 
They break from hillsides rough and steep 

Where sturdy pilgrims trod. 
Who came with grateful heart and voice 

To give this house to God. 
Not "that which cost them naught " was 
then 

Upon God's altar laid, 
But that for which they long had sought 

And labored for and prayed. 

7- 
They tell of burdens bravely borne, 

Of tears in secret wept, 
Of pleadings none but God and heaven 

Hath in remembrance kept. 
They tell of hallowed moments spent 

Around some mercy seat, 
Where with the Master kindred souls 

Have held communion sweet. 



4- 

They rise from 'midst those lonely woods 

And stacks of new-mown hay. 
Where saintly women years ago 

Gathered to praise and pray. 
They peal from out the tempest blast 

That forest monarchs felled, 
Whose hearts of oak for fourscore years 

This temple hath upheld. 

6. 
They steal from hidden, thorny paths 

That weary feet have pressed, 
Where patient souls with steadfast faith 

Waited the promised rest. 
They bear the sweet, submissive song 

Of spirits sorely tried. 
Who 'mid life's darkest hours could sing 

There's " light at eventide." 

8. 
They sound from yonder library's walls, 

Ring with past Christmas cheer. 
And o'er Mount Auburn fondly breathe 

A sweet memorial here. 
They drop from those mosaic panes 

Whispering the name they bear. 
And fall on grateful hearts to stamp 

Its deeper impress there. 



They tell of one whose life and work 

Were love and tenderness. 
Whose tireless feet were swift to seek, 

Whose hands as swift to bless. 
Who knew no station, age nor sex. 

No color, race nor creed; 
Her ministries, like those divine. 

Encircled all in need. 



For what were all these conflicts waged. 

These holy triumphs won, 
These trials patiently endured, 

These deeds of kindness done ? 
Methinks an hallowed echo doth 

Yon chapel's silence break. 
And in a pastor's thrilling tones 

Answers, "For Jesus' sake." 



They tell us how with faltering steps 

An aged saint had come. 
Content that at God's holy feast 

His soul should find a crumb. 
Nor thought that from his morsel shared 

With those in greater need 
A fragment, though long years should 
fall, 

Our hungry souls to feed. 

12. 

O! temple of the living God, 

In thy new beauty dressed. 
May he who hath enriched thy past 

Be still thy constant guest; 
And when the present's sunset glow 

Is o'er the future cast. 
Still may as hallowed echoes fall 

As ring from out thy past!

Note.— The Compiler of these tables will esteem it a great kindness on the part 
of those who, discovering an error, or able to supply what may be lacking in them, will 
kindly inform him of it or send the same to his address. He would also suggest writing 
upon the margin the additions and corrections which have come tq hand, opposite the 
sections to which they belong. 



KEY TO THE FOLLOWING TABLES, 

Taking as an Example the Record on the Opposite Page. 



THE TABLES ARE DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS, EACH SECTION REPRESENT- 
ING A FAMILY AND FOLLOWING EACH OTHER 
IN NUMERICAL ORDER. 



The numeral "i" in all cases is assigned to the family of the person whose name 
heads the table. Thus the numeral "i" on the opposite page will be seen to stand at 
the top of the family record of John Havens. The letters of the alphabet act in the 
same capacity, only that they are assigned to the families through whom the person's 
ancestry is to be traced, which is given in each table so far as the compiler has been 
able to trace it in this country. Thus Mr. John Havens' ancestors are here given 
under the letters "A" and "B" back to the first Havens who came to America, and 
who in this case was his grandfather, namely, William Havens. The line through 
which Mr. John Havens descended from William Havens is indicated by the letter "B" 
which will be seen to stand before the son George of the first William Havens. This 
letter, like the numerals that appear in the subsequent family records, intimate that the 
person before whose name the letter or number stands, not only married, but had a 
family, and that the record of that family can be found under that letter or number in 
the table of which it is a part. Thus under the letter "B" is to be found the family 
record of George Havens, who in this case was the father of Mr. John Havens. In the 
record of George Havens it will be seen that the numeral "i" precedes the name of 
John, which refers the reader for the record of his family to the record that appears 
under that number, and so on through the table. By this arrangement the ancestors 
and descendants of any person whose name appears in any of the following tables, save 
of the parents of those who have married into the family, can be easily traced. In 
some of the sections, as for instance in section No. 16, page 185. it will be noticed that 
the names of both of the parents are set in small capitals. This is to indicate that the 
marriage between those persons was a consanguineous one, that is, between blood rela- 
tions, they having descended from the same ancestor. 

Abbreviations. — b., born; bap., baptised; m., married; da., daughter; ch. or child, child or 
children; wid., widow; d., died; s., son; d. s. p., died without issue; d. unm., died unmarried; 
ae., aged.

BOWDITCH. 

Savage' s Genealogical Dictionary says a John Bowditch of Boston, married in 1682, Temperance 
French, a daughter of John French, the first of Bralntree. She died Aug. 12, 1720. A William Bow- 
ditch resided in Salem, in 1639. This William is thought to have come from Devonshire, England, as 
the name Bowditch is frequently found there. In 1643, this William received a grant of land. His 
wife's given name was Sarah, by whom he had a son, Nathaniel, who was baptized Feb. 12, 1643. 
Another son, named William, born perhaps in England, was the only son his father left. This son, 
William, was a custom officer under the Colonial administration. He died suddenly in 1681, leaving 
an only son, also named William, born in 1663. This third William became eminent at Salem, for his 
usefulness. In 1688, he married Mary Gardner, daughter of Thomas Gardner, and died May 28, 1728. 
He had seven children, one of whom named Ebenezer, born April 26, 1703, married Aug. 15, 1728, 
Mary Turner, daughter of the Hon. John Turner, and died Feb. 2, 1768. He alone, of the seven 
children, left male issue ; one of his sons, named Habakkuk, being the father of Nathaniel Bowditch, 
the very celebrated astronomer and translator of La Place.
